Houses are seen burning in the town of Lachin (Berdzor in Armenian), as Armenia is to hand back the district to Azerbaijan Tuesday as part of a peace deal that ended six weeks of fighting over the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh. IMAGES

Images show Russian military as part of a peacekeeping force at a checkpoint on the Lachin Corridor in Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan.

Azerbaijani guards patrol the checkpoint at the entrance to the Lachin corridor which connects Armenia and the region of Nagorno-Karabakh. A sign indicates that one is entering Azerbaijan territory. Internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh, which broke away from Baku three decades, was at the centre of two wars between mostly Christian Armenia and predominantly Muslim Azerbaijan.
