MOSCOW - Ethnic Armenians in Azerbaijan's breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh agreed to a Russian proposal for a ceasefire on Wednesday, including the complete disarmament of their military force after Azerbaijan began an military operation.The self-styled"Republic of Artsakh" said in a statement that Azerbaijan had broken through its lines and seized a number of strategic points while the world had stood by, doing nothing.
"Unfortunately, the Artsakh side also suffered losses and injuries, and in some areas the enemy managed to penetrate the combat positions of the defense army, capture a number of heights and strategic road junctions," the statement said. It said the separatist forces would disband and disarm. The statement spoke of regular Armenian forces also withdrawing from Karabakh. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan had said on Tuesday that his country was not involved in military operations and"does not have an army in Nagorno-Karabakh".Azerbaijan confirmed the ceasefire. Azerbaijan's state news agency said that the separatists had surrendered.
