Nagorno-Karabakh: Armenia and Azerbaijan agree ceasefire
10 October 2020
Armenia and Azerbaijan have agreed a temporary ceasefire in the conflict in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced the agreement just before 03:00 local time (01:00 BST), following 10 hours of talks in Moscow.
The two countries will now begin "substantive" talks, he said.
More than 300 people have died and thousands displaced since the latest violence in the long-running conflict broke out on 27 September.
The hostilities will be halted from midday (08:00 GMT) on Saturday, to allow an exchange of prisoners and the recovery of dead bodies.
