After Shushan was liberated from the invasion and many villages were liberated, Armenia actually signed a capitulation act.

According to the EPA, President Ilham Əliyev announced this during a meeting with the people returning to Lachin.

The head of state said that according to the agreement, there should have been a road link between the region of Cambodia and Armenia, where the Armenians lived, and that Russian peacekeeping forces had to oversee it: "Therefore, the city of Lachin was still under actual occupation, and it was until November 10 that I insisted that a new route would be taken and that the city of Lachin would be returned to us after the new route was taken. Three years had been set for the road to be approved, simply to agree the route route. Not only did we agree, but we also built this road during the year, and in early August we sent a notice to the Armenians and Russian peacekeeping forces who had already lived in Lachin that we were already coming, please get out of here. After that, we were asked to give some time, to be given until August 25, after which they would evacuate the villages of Lachin, Zabux and Sus. And I agreed because 20 days is not that big a difference. Thus, on August 25, the last Armenian invader or illegal resident left Lachish, and on August 26, we returned to Lachish.
Look, it once again shows that every mixed land is dear and unborn to us. Every city, every village, is ours and there can be no share of the land. During the discussions, there were various stages and different points. There have been pressures and threats and some have made great efforts to reconcile us with the occupation. But our unwavering position, our will, has undermined all that effort. I was saying there could be no compromise. "Five circuits should be returned to us, two circuits should remain under the control of eternal enemies." We didn't intend to compromise a village either and we proved it today. '
