Tavit says
What Putin is doing is constructing lots of corridors for Turkey and NATO to penetrate the Caucasus even more than they have already.
Putin became very angry because (supposedly) Armenia was trying to have better relations with the West.
Putin was also long very upset that Georgia had passed into Western hands and was a route into the Caucasus and Caspian for NATO and the EU.
But now Putin himself has let a NATO member (Turkey) and its F-16s into the Caucasus and Caspian by the recent war, and Putin is creating even more pathways for NATO and the EU to penetrate Russia’s backyard.
This is what is called genius?
