Turkey intervenes in the Nagorno-Karabakh War

say in late 1992 or early 1993 Turkey military intervenes against Armenia. Would Russia attack Turkey or leave it be. How bloody would a Armenia-Turkish war in 1992 or 1993 be . What would be the international reaction.
 
I cannot imagine how a Turkish invasion of Armenia would not precipitate a Russian intervention on Armenia's behalf. This could very easily spread into a broader war, or perhaps not if the rest of NATO views this as a war of Turkey's choice.

Armenia strikes me as being nearly indefensible, if attacked from the west while it is waging war in the east. Its only hope would be to last long enough against Turkey for Russia to be able to bring its forces to bear against its western neighbour. Can it? I wonder.

Who had a stronger military back then--Russia or Turkey?
 
What shape was the new Russian Military in? I mean considering the turmoil that Russia was in and the overall economic picture I've got to imagine that the military was not in great shape.
 
Turkey starting a war with Armenia would be a horrible mistake considering their history turkey would be seen as the aggressor totally.

I could imagine some faction in the military/grey wolves could try and start the war, what would turkey gain from becoming a pariah?
