A bloody six-week war in Nagorno-Karabakh is over, after a peace agreement brokered by Moscow was signed by the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia.

There are, however, two other powers that have benefited from the conflict and the resolution effort: Turkey and Russia.

Nagorny Karabakh remains one of the most tragic and persistent disputes in Europe.
