The Kremlin’s stance aligns with majority-Muslim Azerbaijan’s, not majority-Christian Armenia’s, in spite of Russia’s demographics more closely resembling the latter’s. What this goes to show is that Moscow’s approach is based on objectively existing facts and not identity politics.
If I'm not mistaken, Armenia under Prime Minister Pashinyan tried to hold on to several districts of Azerbaijan that separated Armenia from Karabakh, and then Turkish weapons (especially drones) helped Azerbaijan retake those districts, shattering Armenia's hope for a continuing "frozen conflict" backed up by Moscow. I suspect that the present ongoing exodus of Armenians from Karabakh includes many (if not most) members of Karabakh's former military and their families. This will presumably bolster the ranks of Armenia's army and reinforce Armenian resistance to accepting that Karabakh will now be fully incorporated into Azerbaijan. It seems to me that Armenia is at a dead end until Pashinyan is no longer in office.
In other words, Israel and Turkey and Azerbaijan are all on the same page somehow, and Russia is in there, too. I'm going to go out on a limb and add India, with the suggestion that the IMEC corridor will have a spur through Amman to Tel Aviv and Cairo.
The oligarchs who rule the US Empire use identity politics to keep their domestic population hating on each other instead of them. The problem is that so many of their propagandists think ONLY in terms of identity politics because their salary depends on it, so that's all they talk about.
They are fooling fewer Americans now than they were even 5 or 10 years ago. We've seen this crap several times in the not so distant past.

And recently, Israeli weapons helped Azerbaijan overwhelm the Kharabakh military, leading to the mass exodus of 80% of Armenians from Karabakh:
