TOPSHOT - Armenian prisoners of war (POWs) are seen during a swap at the Azerbaijani-Armenian state border on December 13, 2023. Armenia and Azerbaijan on December 13, 2023 swapped prisoners of war, their first step towards normalisation since peace talks stalled after Baku recaptured the long-disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region. The neighbours had been locked in a protracted conflict for control of Karabakh, which Azerbaijan reclaimed in September after a lightning offensive against Armenian forces who had controlled the enclave for three decades.
