Azeris don't have a choice. They are being commanded by Turkey, a NATO country. Hell, Azeri generals were getting fired left and right when they tried to oppose Turkey. That's why Russia has not been able to get Azeris to negotiate. Therefore, when Azeris invade Armenia proper to retake Azeri enclaves in Armenia, Putin will again do nothing and that is when Armenia will ditch CSTO and join NATO. NATO wins. Russia loses.
You keep telling us that Putin will do this or that and saying what will or wont happen like you know.
Putin has been very clear. If Armenia asks for help then help will be provided. If Azeris cross certainly likes help will also be provided.
HATO doesn't care about Armenia, their number one goal is to hurt Russia and put troops on as many borders close to Russia as they possibly can... don't know if you can read a map or not but Armenia joining HATO would actually solve the problems Russia has reaching Armenia and cooperating with her because it has no shared border with the country... essentially Armenia joining HATO would be a severance of political and military ties much like Georgia or the Ukraine or Belarus joining HATO... but the obvious problem would be that HATO already has access to the Russian border closest to Armenia via Georgia so little Armenia has no real value to HATO at all... which is why you heave EU calls for action in Belarus but the occasional call for peace in NK.
Armenia and Russia are allies and that would be the only interest HATO has with Armenia, but the suggestion that Putin has gone soft and will do nothing is very amusing... ask apple orchard owners in Poland, or the Ukrainian officials in Crimea or ISIS leaders in the capital city of Syria how soft Putin is...
In 2013 Polish orchard owners were ramping up production to meet the needs of the Russian market for food from the EU... in 2015 they were walking into the cold store rooms they keep their apples in to die because the loss of the Russian market meant they couldn't sell their apples and could not afford to pay back the banks for the money they borrowed to expand production. (Apple store rooms have like a 5% oxygen content to slow the fruit ripening process... fatal to humans... you take a nap and never wake up...)
I think the others are self explanatory...
Putin does not go in guns blazing and killing people left and right for no reason... which is why Israel and Turkey are working with them in Syria instead of directly opposing their presence like the US does...
Russia destroying the Azeri forces would not really help.... it would just escalate things and get HATO involved though I do agree hunting down those Syrian terrorists would be a good thing... a few precision tests of suicide drones etc.
Might be my last post. Love and respect to all my Russian friends here.
Best of luck... but the best solution is to talk this out in Moscow because solutions made by force and violence just create more reasons to do it again in another 10-20 years time.
Their actions invading the region just prove not letting the former residents in the area come back was the correct decision...
I have been reading about war most of my adult life and the more I read the more I think it is always best avoided where possible...
Look after yourself and your fellow citizens...
