WASHINGTON, D.C. – The United States will help increase control to maintain the ceasefire in the Nagorno-Karabakh (NK) conflict zone.

The First Deputy Minister of Defense of Armenia, Davit Tonoyan, stated the aforesaid at a talk with representatives of the Armenian community in Washington D.C.

The Armenian News-NEWS.am reporter in the US capital city informed that this meeting was held at the Embassy of Armenia in Washington D.C.

In Tonoyan’s words, during his talks in Washington D.C., representatives of the US defense and foreign policy departments stressed that the US is very much interested in maintaining this ceasefire, and it stands ready to assist increase control in that zone.

“It was stressed, both at the Pentagon and the [US] Department of State, that it is indispensable to strengthen the measures that will contribute to the maintenance of peace,” noted Tonoyan. “The creation of investigative mechanisms plays a huge role in terms of preventive measures for ceasefire violation.”

As per the Armenian deputy defense minister, international observers should be given a mandate to investigate ceasefire violations, and, furthermore, a chance should be given to install—under the auspices of international observers—special sensors on the border and the Line of Contact of the armed forces.

Davit Tonoyan also said the Armenian side neither wants nor will permit war.

“There is no military solution to the NK conflict,” he added. “The matter has already been resolved by military means.”

In addition, Davit Tonoyan reflected on the other domains in Armenian-American military cooperation, and pointed to three main directions. First, the US will continue assisting in the ongoing defense reforms in Armenia. Second, the US will assist Armenian peacekeepers in Afghanistan, Kosovo and Lebanon, and, in the future, possibly also in Mali. And third, Armenia is committed to providing single core battalions for the peacekeeping operations being conducted under the auspices of the UN.

Lets hope that Russians do not act so stupidly as to shoot themself in their foot.
There is article above about US planning to help Armenia maintain ceasefire.
If Moscow lets the balance of power tilt to baku's favor, then realistic or not, Armenia has to get west more involved in southern caucasus, which is one of the fiew places left where Moscow has upper hand in controll over US.
And US has been trying for long time to change that.
There can be a situation, where Russia can loose both Armenia and Azerbaijan.
They should know that the only reason that we are allied with russia, is to keep balance of power and Artsakh independent. And Moscow has to realise (I think and hope it does) that Armenia if forced can find other mechanisms in protecting itself.
US has Georgia in it's hands. If it decides to form a crest with Georgia and Armenia ( and we are left with no choice by russia) then Baku cannot not join. It has oil to sell.
Lately, some US diplomats are voicing change of opinions in Artsakh self determination. Hoping that is not fake the big roadblock of US recognizing Artsakh as Azerbaijan territory can change and so relations with us.

I think it is actually more complicated then that. This move along with previous weapon sales to the Azeris are the result of Iran and China becoming more involved in the region.

May very well be.
But one has to ask how US/Iran thawing can bring also more opportunities for US/Armenia relations. If Moscow hopes to guarantee it's role for Armenia by putting more pressure on us, it has to also count that there is a limit, where more powerfull Azerbaijan's larger scale military adventures on border will force us to retink, and US seize an opportunity.
