A peace deal has been agreed between Armenia and Azerbaijan, two former Soviet Union republics in the Caucasus region.
It brings to an end weeks of fierce fighting in which thousands of people were killed and many more displaced.
At the heart of the conflict was the Nagorno-Karabakh region. It is recognised as part of Azerbaijan, but it is controlled by ethnic Armenians.
The countries fought a bloody war over the region in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and it has been the trigger for violent clashes in the years since.
