Honestly, I think there’s an outside chance that this could also be an attempt to woo Erdogan, because not only does that guy LOVE denying that the Armenian genocide was a thing, but he also wants to create a resurgent Ottoman Empire, and that very much includes snarfing up territory of his neighbors.
More directly: Putin and Erdogan are already buddies. The plan might be to grant Erdogan a portion of the conquered land.
I think this is more about signaling to Azerbaijan that Russia will support them military in a campaign against Armenia. Don't get me wrong, Turkey loves denying the Armenian Genocide, but Azerbaijan and Armenia have been in hot wars as recent as last year and Azerbaijan has very close ties to Russia.
