Azerbaijan has paraded its army through the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. The display comes weeks after Azerbaijan recaptured the enclave, in a lighting-fast offensive which caused 120,000 ethnic Armenians to flee. The regional capital Khankendi, also known as Stepanakert, was left deserted.
Nagorno-Karabakh had been at the centre of a decades-long conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. At the military parade on Wednesday, Azerbaijan’s president warned Armenia against “revanchist sentiments”, saying that “from now on, jesting with us is ill-advised”.
