Description
The streets of Stepanakert, known as Khankendi in Azerbaijani, are empty after tens of thousands of ethnic Armenians left the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh enclave following a military operation by Baku. The images were taken from a press tour convoy, organised by Azerbaijani officials, which passed through the city outskirts. Meanwhile, Azerbaijan says it has discovered a cannabis plantation outside the city. "It is emotional. After years of sorrow, years of disbelief, finally this is over," says Aykhan Mustafayev of Azerbaijan's Ministry of Internal Affairs, "We can now establish control over the whole territory".
