First vehicles drove through a Russian checkpoint near the town of Shusha in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region on Tuesday after Russia's peacekeeping forces opened the Lachin corridor to traffic.

The peacekeepers inspect each vehicle that arrives at the checkpoint, which is located in the corridor that links Stepanakert, the region's capital, with Armenia proper.

Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a Russian-brokered agreement to cease hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh last week.

Under the terms of the deal, 1,960 Russian peacekeepers will be deployed in the disputed region to monitor the ceasefire.

The agreement also sees Azerbaijan obtaining control of the territory it has taken in the most recent fighting, and Armenia relinquishing control of further areas it has held since the Nagorno-Karabakh War in the 1990s.
