Risk of having missles over baku or dams and oil pipelines was still there...so keeping that in mind a wise decision
The guy went underground once armenia lost he was spear heading their compaign before lol
Wagner itself wasn't confirmed, just that russian mercs were involved. Wagner is the only Russian group I can think of that would have the capability to go toe to toe with an actual standing army. It would also make sense, as Wagner has been involved in every major conflict that involves russia both directly and indirectly, and would be the only group to receive permission from the Kremlin.
No one is asking you. Stay out of our conversation.
No
That's assuming Armenia's military accepts the peace deal, which may not end up happening.

One thing is that NK still has no status. Aliyev mentioned in his speech. And what AZE got more than %10 from NK. This way Armenia officially recognised that 7 regions theat they ceased to Azerbaijan is Azerbaijan's. So they can't claim it in the future. While AZE still has claims in NK since it is still AZ's territory. With this agreemnt AZ put that 7 region question out of the picture. But the issue of the karabag still remains. Now that portion of karabag surrounded by Azerbaijan, It's biggest city 2 km away from Azeris and connected to Armenia with a thin corridor. There is no way armenia can hold on to it if they start fighting in the future.This is the map of the front lines. AZE gets to keep maybe 10% of NK and the 7 regions.
Armenia gets to keep 90% of NK and a 5km corridor to illegally occupied lands.
Presumably Armanian army gets to stay in NK.
So Azerbaijan fought a war to return the 7 regions. Armenia gets to keep all the resources in NK and water and dams.
If thats the best AZE could do. ok, but It think its massive victory to armneia considering what position they were in.
Armenians are like the serbs in Bosnia, they were protesting against the peace agreement without realising how good it was. In 10 years ARM will be celebrating this agreement, just as the Serbs celebrate the peace agreement now. Once they realise it saved them to total destruction and gave them more than they deserve.

Armenia's army seems to be against it, at least some serious officers from the army.
Uh, the agreement says Armenia would hand over all the 7 districts, and also leave NK over the coming few week. Russian (and Turkish, according to Aliyev) peacekeepers would be deployed to make sure both sides are adhering to the agreement.This is the map of the front lines. AZE gets to keep maybe 10% of NK and the 7 regions.

The opinion of the masses is relevant if some take it in their own hands if they have lost their homes. Think about it. You just lost your home and the territory has been taken over, what would you do? Yeah speculation, but you've seen what civilians do when turning to guerilla warfare. And if more deaths come, then the conflict could be renew. And as you said some of the military personnel are against it. Reminds me of the Japanese Army trying to stage a coup when they realize their Emperor was going to surrender in WW2.
That's an emotional appeal, geopolitics doesn't care about emotions. The masses in Armenia won't matter, because they don't live in Azerbaijani liberated areas, nor do they live in NK. the Armenian civilians that do(did) live in the region have largely fled to Armenia, and the few that are left won't be much if a threat. It's also unlikely they'll return to live under Azeri rule, even if they do have autonomy, considering Azerbaijan would have the right to revoke the autonomy at any time in the future.
An emotional appeal that makes an impact in geopolitics and have been shown in past conflicts. I'm betting that some Armenians would love to provoke a new conflict, and do hit and run attacks figuring the spent blood is not worth it for the Azeris and run back to Armenia under Russian protection besides Armenia.
