This week saw clashes between police and demonstrators in Athens after a Greek court ruled that the far-right Golden Dawn party was operating as a criminal organisation; suffering in Nagorno-Karabakh after the latest flare-up of violence between Azerbaijan and Armenia; and devastating floods in parts of France and Italy.

This is how these and other key stories of the week were captured by photographers around the world.
