It's a peacekeeping mission that Russia had a mandate under the ceasefire agreement. The departure of Russian peacekeepers from Nagorno-Karabakh means that Azerbaijan will regain sovereignty over the rebellious region. Azerbaijan managed to regain almost all of the lost territories with the exception of the central part of Nagorno-Karabakh and the Lachin corridor leading to Armenia. Russia is no longer interested in protecting the region from Azerbaijan.
Russia will pull out all of its nearly 2,000 troops from Azerbaijan’s Karabakh region, the Kremlin said in a surprise announcement just six months after they watched a forced mass exodus of the region’s Armenian population.
Under the terms of a 2020 cease-fire between Azerbaijan and Armenia, 1,960 Russian soldiers as well as hundreds of units of armored personnel carriers and other military equipment were stationed in the region. They had a peacekeeping mandate until at least the end of 2025, but Moscow is directing all available resources into its war on Ukraine.

If they come and help you, then kick them out,
When they leave, shout 'Traitors!." (c)
Nagorno-Karabakh was doomed after the Second Karabakh war started. And while Azerbaijan was busy there, Turkey was a guarantor no one major regional power got involved on Armenia's behalf.I guess Russia initially intended to protect Armenia from Azeri aggression but the Russian peacekeeping operation was suspended because Armenia is increasingly hostile to Russia. I don't think France cares enough about Armenia to send French troops to the disputed territory after Russian troops left, despite the new defense pact between the two countries. Armenia will pay a price for its misguided foreign policy to alienate Russia.

a good point here, i am sure we all agree on this :Nagorno-Karabakh was doomed after the Second Karabakh war started. And while Azerbaijan was busy there, Turkey was a guarantor no one major regional power got involved on Armenia's behalf.
Armenia will be lucky if another war isn't started there. For Zangezur corridor that Azerbaijan needs. But that would mean war on Armenia soil proper, and that would require Russia and other CSTO signatories to get involved directly on Armenia's side, under the treaty.
