Armenian separatists, who had controlled the region for three decades, agreed to disarm, dissolve their government and reintegrate with Baku following a one-day Azerbaijani offensive last week. Nearly all of Karabakh's estimated 120,000 residents fled the territory over the following days, sparking a refugee crisis. IMAGES
