So, with Armenia, there is a problem - Orange Revolution. And Russia hates it. In two words, one can summarize it as, Russia lost the leverage on the talks table between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Forget all rhetoric. That's the fundamental problem.
Turkey always advocated for a resolution - you can't keep the pot simmering for ever!! That's exactly what Armenia did.
Was Azerbaijan correct? Legally, yes, but morally no. And after what it did to Armenian heritage in Nakchivan, a big no. https://hyperallergic.com/482353/a-regime-conceals-its-erasure-of-indigenous-armenian-culture/
And now, we have a deadly cocktail. Russia itching to punish Pashinyan, a neo-Ottomanite Turkey and a dictator in a quest for a legacy and smooth succession - all waiting for Armenia to rake up the tensions. End result? Probably, the first capitulation announced on Facebook.
Massive anger, rioting and protests in Armenia. Speaker lynched to death, Prime Minister beaten, speaker lynched(to death?)

Armenia lost huge tracts of lands. Already it lost 90%+ of land based on Wilsonian Issue on Sevres.
Pashinyan miscalculated. No body helped. Who suffered? Do you know what irritates more? The smirk on the face of the Dictator. https://twitter.com/Suribelle1/status/1326151082209325058
Putin put his foot at the right time to save Armenia. But, what they held for 30 years is lost - that's the punishment he gave. He will protect Armenia, no problem. But, there is another lesson here - if you are in a sphere of influence, behave like one.
A better map.
For any country, I will tell only one thing. Remember your historic wrongs. But don't let your history decide your future. And especially when you don't have resources to realize them.
Armenia has a great history and legacy. We just don't want it to go the Kars way or even the Nakchivan way. Please...please...behave responsibly. https://twitter.com/cbkwgl/status/1311755485939486722
But one thing. Pashinyan is a patriot. His wife is still on the frontlines and he returned to Armenia fully knowing what's going to happen to him. How many leaders have you seen who surrendered themselves to lynch mobs? https://twitter.com/cbkwgl/status/1326279264992432135
Who is to blame, who fired the first shot, who gained the most is all secondary but the ultimate question is, What Next?
