Hundreds of Azerbaijani soldiers have paraded through the capital city of the Karabakh region that came under full control of Azerbaijan in September after a lightning rout of ethnic Armenian forces.

Azerbaijanis celebrate the third anniversary of their victory in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war after Azerbaijan gained the full control over the separatist region in fighting earlier this year.
Khankendi, which Armenians called Stepanakert, was the headquarters of the self-declared separatist government of Nagorno-Karabakh. The region and sizable surrounding territory came under control of ethnic Armenians at the 1994 end of a separatist war.
