On Tuesday, Azerbaijan announced that it regained control over the Lachin district, as a part of a peace deal, that ended weeks of fighting over Nagorno-Karabakh, according to Sputnik news agency.

In an official statement, the defense ministry in Baku said, "Units of the Azerbaijani Army entered the Lachin region on December 1, under the deal signed on November 9 by Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Russia."

Lachin is considered the last of three handed back by Armenia.

It is worth mentioning that, “Wall Street Journal” newspaper said on Sunday, that although the peace agreement brokered by Russia between Armenia and Azerbaijan stopped weeks of fighting between the two sides and granted Moscow a geopolitical victory, it failed to instill a sense of safety among Armenians, noting that the presence of Russian Forces in the region raises a mixed feeling of gratitude and distrust.

Moreover, the newspaper pointed out to some Armenians who expressed their feelings that the international community has abandoned them and that they only trust Moscow, while others expressed caution about the presence of Russian forces, especially those who lived through the era of Soviet control.
