Last week Azerbaijan initiated "local anti-terrorist measures" in Nagorno-Karabakh.
In response, Armenia refused to deploy troops to the territory of the region.
As a result of the operation, which lasted one day, the unrecognized "republic" capitulated, and Baku announced the achievement of its goals in the region.
