Armenian separatists in the region agree to disarm after a quick assault by Baku.
In only 24 hours of fighting, Azerbaijan has changed the facts on the ground in Nagorno-Karabakh.
A new ceasefire with ethnic Armenian groups appears to put the country’s forces in full control of the region.
Azerbaijan and Armenia have battled over the enclave for decades.
But this time, Armenia kept out of the fighting – leaving ethnic Armenian groups in the region to fend for themselves.
In the coming months, the future of those groups will be decided along with their integration into the Azerbaijani state.
So is this the end of this decades-long conflict?
