Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
Is that because of the time Armenia chose a pro west candidate?No, mostly because most of that isn't true.
Specific to this situation though, it remains to be seen; Azerbaijan has been falling into the orbit of Turkey-Israel for sometime, and it's likely the meeting between Putin and Erdogan had this situation as an "off the books" deal. Wouldn't surprise me if Putin cut a deal to sell Artsahk out in exchange for concessions elsewhere. Turkey can do a lot for Russia, after all, given the NATO expansion talks, efforts to resupply Ukraine, etc.
