President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said today that his country has regained control over a strategic city on the edge of Nagorno-Karabakh, a region over which the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia has been ongoing for decades.

Azerbaijani forces entered the city of Lachin, located on the road that served as the main link between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh.

Earlier this month, clashes broke out again in Nagorno-Karabakh between Armenian separatists and Azerbaijani forces, two years after a Moscow-brokered ceasefire agreement.

Russia has deployed around 2.000 soldiers as peacekeepers in the region.
