After a 44-day war with Armenian forces, Azerbaijan has recaptured swathes of territory in and around Nagorno-Karabakh in the South Caucasus. That includes about half of the disputed enclave itself, but also seven Azerbaijani provinces which were seized by Armenia in the early 1990s. These have been handed back under a ceasefire deal brokered by Russia. Our reporters received authorisation from Azerbaijan’s authorities to film inside districts which have just changed hands.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
