On November 25, the Azerbaijani army entered the Kalbajar region abandoned by the Armenian troops. This was reported on the website of the military department of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

It is observed that the movements of troops are carried out in accordance with the signed agreements. On the route of the subdivisions, work is being done to clear the territories, as well as mountain roads that are difficult to pass.

On November 9, the leaders of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan adopted a joint declaration suggesting an end to hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh as of November 10. The parties in conflict stop at their positions. Azerbaijan will take control of the territories of the Aghdam, Gazakh, Kelbajar and Lachin regions. The region will include Russian peacekeepers. Units will be deployed along the line of contact and the Lachin corridor, which connects Nagorno-Karabakh with Armenia.

In 1991, Nagorno-Karabakh, whose majority population was Armenian, declared its independence from Azerbaijan. Baku tried to return the region by force, after which the war began. In 1994, Azerbaijan, Armenia and the unrecognized NKR signed a truce.
