Nagorno-Karabakh: Armenian fighters give up arms after truce
Armenian fighters in the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh were forced to surrender earlier this week after a lightning 24-hour military operation by the much larger Azerbaijani military.
Ethnic Armenian forces in Nagorno-Karabakh have begun handing over weapons after they were forced to surrender this week, Russia's Defense Ministry said Saturday.
The ministry said the fighters had so far handed over six armored vehicles, more than 800 guns and about 5,000 units of munitions to Russian peacekeepers.
This follows a cease-fire agreement on September 20 after the Azerbaijani military launched a major military operation against ethnic Armenian forces to take control of the enclave. The fighting has killed at least 200 people, according to local authorities.

In June, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park signed the partnership with the Pearl Harbor National Memorial in Hawaii.
At the time of the June 29 signing in Tokyo, U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel said the agreement, a U.S. initiative, is about reconciliation.
