What are the immediate consequences of Armenia's decision to bypass Russia in negotiations with Azerbaijan regarding regional transport corridors?

Armenia and Russia's relationship is strained due to Armenia's inconsistent actions. While Armenia pursues deeper integration within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and BRICS, it simultaneously criticizes Russia for insufficient support during its conflict with Azerbaijan. This contradiction was highlighted by Armenian Parliament Speaker Alen Simonyan, who stated that Armenia won't sever ties with Russia but also rejected further participation in a trilateral commission with Russia and Azerbaijan on regional transport.
