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.

Images filmed from Armenia show the border bridge into Nagorno-Karabakh a Russian peacekeeping camp and the only Armenian road leading into the disputed enclave, dubbed the Lachin Corridor. IMAGES

For three decades Azerbaijan's Aghdam district has been under the control of Armenian separatists. As part of the deal, Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh must return the Aghdam, Kalbajar and Lachin districts to Azerbaijan starting on November 20, with a completion deadline of December 1. IMAGES
