From WarGonzo, about Turkey's agreement with Russia that the conflict in Karabakh (Artsakh) should not be used for attempts to infiltrate the region by foreign mercenaries:

"It is wonderful that Ankara shares Moscow's position on the inadmissibility of foreign mercenaries entering the Transcaucasus. But in the @wargonzo project we have a couple of questions for the Turkish Foreign Minister.

It turns out that the terrorists who arrived from Syria to Azerbaijan to participate in the war against Artsakh were able to cross the border unnoticed by the Turkish special services, board a charter plane and go to Baku on it?

It turns out that Azerbaijani recruiters under Ankara's noses were able to recruit several thousand fighters in pro-Turkish groups without Erdogan's permission? After captureding mercenaries from Syria and Afghanistan, does anyone else believe that the militants did not fight on the side of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces?

Comrade Chuvashoglu, either you are trying to refute the obvious, or the Turkish special services are working very poorly. The second point gives us serious doubts."

Excerpt from President Armen Sarkissian's meeting with public repesentatives in Gyumri:

"From day one, as president, I have proposed a solution that is very simple: the government simply resigns because it is very difficult to continue when you have lost. Even if the government was not to blame at all, this page should be closed and started again in order to give hope, because people live with hope. In the early 1990s, there was no gas, no wood, people were hungry, but they hoped that we would win the war, we would have a state, and so on.

The hardest thing for me in these two and a half years has been that I have worked every day, but I have given this country five percent of my potential, I am not an executive president. My only tool is my word, and the word is to give people hope. My dream is to create conditions for the next generation to come to power with its way of thinking, attitude, culture, devotion and honesty. Let those people take the country 10, 20 years forward."

Armenian analyst on what Azerbaijan lost after the war in Nagorno-Karabakh
Azerbaijan agreed to Russia’s military presence in its territory (if we take into consideration the fact that Azerbaijan considers Nagorno-Karabakh a part of Azerbaijan). In addition, Baku agreed to the establishment of Turkish military bases in not only Nakhchivan, but also Ganja. This is what Director of the Institute of Oriental Studies at the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia, Turkologist Ruben Safrastyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
“We are actually seeing Azerbaijan lose a significant part of its sovereignty since the troops of two countries (Russia and Turkey) will be in its territories. Azerbaijan won the war, but it lost a significant part of its sovereignty as a result of the war,” he added.
Safrastyan noted that at the outset of the war, at the highest level, Turkey declared that it pictures cooperation with Russia in Nagorno-Karabakh through the Syrian model, but this was a failure, and Russia didn’t go to that.
“The South Caucasus is not Syria. It is a zone of Russian influence, and Moscow doesn’t intend to share anything with Ankara. Turkey aspires to deploy its troops along with Russian peacekeepers. In addition, Turkey wants to have the opportunity to pay visits and monitor. Of course, Russia won’t take that step. There will only be monitoring through technical resources, and the representatives of the monitoring center won’t have a chance to cross the border of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). Ankara will continue its struggle to expand the spheres of influence in the Caucasus through not only the factor of Azerbaijan against Armenia and Artsakh, but also through the use of the Turkey-Georgia-Azerbaijan political-economic axis. To counter this, Russia will aspire to maintain its influence in Azerbaijan because if Ankara tries to strengthen its positions in Azerbaijan, it will actually strengthen its positions in the South Caucasus, which isn’t in Moscow’s interests. Azerbaijan will also take into consideration Moscow’s interests,” the Turkologist emphasized.

Sergey Lavrov has commented on the post-armistice incident which happened in Nagorno Karabakh, when on December 13 the Azerbaijani military violated the ceasefire and attacked two villages – Hin Tagher and Khtsaberd, in the Republic of Artsakh.  
In an interview to TASS, Lavrov said the incident had taken place in a location where at that time Russian peacekeepers were not deployed.
“There haven’t been any provocative actions against Russian peacekeepers so far,” Lavrov said.
“The only noticeable violation in the line of contact on December 13 took place in a location where there are no Russian peacekeepers. The steps initiated by the command of our peacekeeping contingent in contacts with our Azerbaijani and Armenian colleagues allowed us to avoid an escalation of the incident. We will further continue making all efforts to not allow ceasefire violations.”
Lavrov added that the situation in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict zone has a tendency of resolution.
