You can see on this sattelite map, that all Azeri homes captured by Armenia during war, have no Roofs. Meaning that these houses were burnt. Residents driven out. Compare Goris to Ishiqli.
And this means that the two populations, can not live side by side. Or be close in any way. So the Azeri refugees must be returned to Azeri only areas. The claim that they can live side by side is not true.
Azeris must leave Armenians alone. Not attack them. Leave them alone in NK. They should only go to area outside of NK. For this reason of severe war, Artsakh must be part of Armenia. For security of people and development. Some kind of autonomy or independence, allowing any mixing of populations affairs, will not work.
I think Armenia should withdraw forces from occupied territory. Concentrate forces in Artsakh to defend. They can maintain a land link to Artsakh. Azeris then loose reason for war. For fighting.
I do not see the benefit of holding a large territory, or buffer zone. If it disperses your forces. In area that is flat. Armour can advance. They have numerical superiority. And they have reason to fight. It is their land.

NB : BOTH RUSSIA AND IRAN SHOULD ADVANCE 2 KM ALONG BORDER. IRAN ALONG ARMENIA BORDER. RUSSIA ALONG GEORGIA BORDER. THE CLOSER AZER FORCES COME TO ARMENIA , THE MORE RUSSIA AND IRAN TO ADVANCE. IF AZER CROSS BORDER INTO ARMENIA, THEN THEY SHOULD GO FURTHER AND CLOSE ARMENIA BORDER AGAINST AZER ADVANCE. IN NK, THEY SHOULD DO THE SAME. SEPARATE FORCES.
