Reply to comment by the_clam_farmer in Russia slams new EU mission to Armenia, says it will stoke tensions by DavidofSasun

Russia did fuck all, after having talks with Turkey. If Turkey archived its goal there, then they will be fine with this here step by the EU. Iran is a player here as well, but Russia and Turkey are holding the bigger cards.

I get what you mean but things have changed since 2020. With Russia bogged down in Ukraine, I find it far fetched that they could contribute significant material/personel support elsewhere. Maybe they could provide very limited ISR to Armenia, but again they are buying weapons and platforms off Iran, and ammunition from North Korea for use in Ukraine.
