Require agents to comment before closing ticket

Can anyone provide details on how to make it mandatory for agents to update a ticket with at least 1 note or emai reply, before being allowed to close the ticket?

So to be clear, it should be obligatory for the agent to provide a note or to send an email to customer, when changing ticket state to “closted” - as in, it should not be possible to change to this state without providing note/email reply.
