Azerbaijan says its forces have entered the Lachin district, the last of three handed back by Armenia as part of a deal that ended weeks of fighting over Nagorno-Karabakh

A screen grab captured from a video shows military trucks of Azerbaijani army on their way to enter Lachin, occupied for 28 years, on November 30, 2020 on the Azerbaijani border.

The defence ministry in Baku said in a statement on Monday that "units of the Azerbaijan army entered the Lachin region on December 1" under the deal signed in early November by Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia. The peace deal was reached after six weeks of heavy fighting that saw Azerbaijan's military overwhelm Armenian occupying forces and threatening to advance on Khankendi.

The Armenian forces are retaining control over most of Karabakh's Soviet-era territory though they have lost the key town of Shusha.
