RSI (Switzerland's Italian-language broadcasting service) broadcasted a reportage from Azerbaijan's Aghdam and Fuzuli districts which have recently been liberated from the Armenian occupation, AzVision.az reports. 

In the reportage, TV channel's correspondent, Filippo Chichu shows the destroyed settlements noting that the Agdam and Fuzuli cities have become a "place of ghosts."  

Filippo Chichu mentioned the return of Azerbaijani people who were forced to leave their homes almost thirty years ago, to their liberated districts. He also highlighted the 44-day-war which was resulted in the restoration of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan in the reportage.   

 "In the 1990s, Armenia occupied the Nagorno-Karabakh Karabakh, expelled residents of Azerbaijani-populated towns and villages and set up military posts in those areas", the reportage says.  

The reportage also notes that Azerbaijani people wait for the completion of mine-clearance operations in the liberated land to return back to their homes.   

Armenian Armed Forces launched a large-scale military attack on positions of Azerbaijani army on the front line, using large-caliber weapons, mortars and artillery on Sept. 27. Azerbaijan responded with a counter-offensive along the entire front.

On November 10, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia signed an agreement to end six weeks of fierce fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh.

Under the agreement, Russian peacekeepers were deployed along the front line in Nagorno-Karabakh and the corridor between the region and Armenia.

A total of 1,960 Russian peacekeepers were deployed in Nagorno-Karabakh under a five-year mandate.

Also, according to the agreement, on 20 November, Armenia handed over the Aghdam region which lies to the east of Nagorno-Karabakh, to Azerbaijan. This followed on 25 November by the Kalbajar region to the northwest of Nagorno-Karabakh. 

Finally, on 1 December, Armenia handed over the Lachin District, over which the Lachin pass connecting Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia passes.
