if the russians can peel the greeks out of nato (a perpetual possibility, given the prominent role of turkey in the alliance), and can establish strong positions in syria, and in armenia, then the russians have turkey surrounded and can kind of eat away at it over an extended period.
that is what i think flaring up tensions in armenia is about.
...which is why what the french are doing (reassuring support for the greeks) makes sense, from a western-alliance standpoint and why what trudeau is doing (trying to broker a peace between erdogan and the puppet-state in armenia) does not.
