In late September 2020, the Karabakh region witnessed the resumption of hostilities, which came as an extension of the chronic conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which resulted in civilian casualties. After the failure of several attempts to establish a truce, Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed in the mediation of Moscow, on the night of 9 to 10 November, on a complete cessation of fire and exchange of prisoners and dead bodies, and Yerevan also handed over to Baku three areas that were controlled by the Armenian side, in addition to the deployment of Russian peace-keeping forces.
