So why does he continue to pour troops into Armenia?
No way this is correct....
Armenia is in need of some help dealing with the jihad states that border it..
Suggest that -
In Syria the Russians are vulnerable to a really pissed off Turkey. They are in a better position to lean on the Turks from Armenia.
This whole foreign intervention thing is expensive, and Russia is feeling the pinch of low oil/gas prices.
I would guess to keep Turkey in check once the leave.

Because in Armenia his troops are not trapped should Turkey close the Bosporus Straight.
If the area explodes , Armenia is the place to pound Turkey and keep them out of his country.
