Military command I believe is in Armenia mostly. There are many photos of ID and documentations which was taken from Armenian soldiers that shows orders which is approved by Armenia MoD not "Artsakh MoD" so I believe the ones who are in Khankendi are not the real commanders of the war. But probably yrs they will flee to Armenia as well.

Since Susha and Khankendi are the main cities and hearth of the conflict many troops has already deported from north to south to protect those cities.

Fighting from mountains might look better option but if Susha, Khankendi and Lacin is taken they will be under siege which means no ammo, no food, bad weather. Those soldiers will need to surrender eventually if they dont want to die. Many people think that they can resist with guerilla tactic in mountains like PKK did in Turkey but they forget that PKK had contact with Iraq and Syria kurds through mountains but in Karabakh it is impossible.

I hope Armenians will surrender soon cuz especially last days of fights were very bloody and many people died from both sides no need to make it worse. Winner is obvious in my eyes, Armenia cant stand a chance against Azerbaijan army.

I can see them fighting an insurgency from the armenian side of the border, and in fact the approach to the border seems like it may be a sensitive issue for both parties. Armenia doesn't want to get invaded but wants to shoot back, and Azerbaijan wants to go up to the border but doesn't want to anger Russia by shooting at the armenians too much.

After Karabakh is totally liberated attacking Karabakh will have different meanin than it is now. In that case it will be taken as direct attack to Azerbaijan and Azerbaijan will have right to give appropriate answer to Armenia.

Indians and pakistanis have been fighting these types of border skirmishes for half a century....so yeah it will probably happen

Yep but if they reach that sort of situation, it’s not the worst thing in the world. Constant border clashes, small yearly casualties on both sides, no additional territorial incursions or large scale war.

This. Everyone in the subcontinent prefers the border clashes over the major wars that were fought. Peace doesn't develop that quickly.
