		</div><p>Azerbaijani authorities disclosed for the first time details of the country’s military casualties in the recent fighting with Armenian forces over the separatist region of Nagorno-Karabakh, which was halted last month by a Russian-brokered truce.</p>
<p>Azerbaijan’s defence ministry said that 2,783 troops were killed during the 44 days of intense clashes, and 103 of them are yet to be identified.</p>
<p>More than 100 servicemen are considered to be unaccounted for, the ministry said, and 1,245 are currently undergoing treatment in medical facilities.</p>
<p>President Ilham Aliyev said earlier this week that 94 Azerbaijani civilians were also killed and 400 more have been wounded.</p>
<p>On Thursday, he signed a decree ordering a moment of silence at 12.00pm local time on Friday to honour the victims of the fighting.</p>
<p>Nagorno-Karabakh lies within Azerbaijan but has been under the control of ethnic Armenian forces backed by Armenia since a separatist war there ended in 1994.</p>

<p>The deal was celebrated in Baku as a major victory.</p>
<p>Mr Aliyev on Wednesday declared a new national holiday, dubbed Victory Day, to mark the day when the truce entered force.</p>
<p>On Thursday, Mr Aliyev’s office announced moving the holiday to November 8, when the strategically important city in Nagorno-Karabakh, Shusha, was taken by Azerbaijani forces.</p>
<p>Mr Aliyev made the decision as November 10 is Ataturk Memorial Day in Turkey, Azerbaijan’s major ally, a statement by the Azerbaijani presidential administration read.</p>
<p>In Armenia, the peace deal sparked outrage.</p>
<p>Mass protests erupted in the capital Yerevan, with thousands regularly taking to the streets to demand the ousting of the country’s prime minister.</p>
