Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan visits a military cemetery as Armenia and Azerbaijan mourn the thousands killed in their brief but brutal war for control of the Nagorno-Karabakh region on the first anniversary of the conflict. The war for control of the mountainous region left some 6,500 people dead and sparked mutual allegations of war crimes.
