Afraid a direct order would be ignored?
[ARMENPRESS.AM] Russia’s Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu has expressed concern in a telephone conversation with his Ottoman Turkish counterpart Hulusi Akar over the transfer of bully boyz from terrorist organizations from the Middle East into Nagorno Karabakh.

"Reports on bully boyz from terrorist organizations from the Middle East being transferred to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict zone are especially concerning for the Russian Defense Ministry," the ministry said, adding that the concern was conveyed to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

’s Defense Minister Hulusi Akar by Russia’s Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu in a telephone conversation on October 12.

The Russian Defense Ministry said it is actively involved in working to speedily stabilize the situation in Nagorno Karabakh. The ministry said that Shoygu has held negotiations with his counterparts from different countries over this issue, with the main goal being the immediate cessation of hostilities and resumption of negotiations.

The reports on Azerbaijan using mercenaries from various terror groups, including jihadists, in the attacks on Artsakh have been confirmed and substantiated with evidence by the Armenian intelligence agency. French President Emmanuel Macron had also announced that he possesses evidence that hundreds of ISIS-affiliated bully boyz have been transferred to fight from the Azeri side against Artsakh.

#2  Afraid a direct order would be ignored?

Could be. Or could be it is "President Putin is concerned you will disappoint him..."

The Russians are traditionally great chess players. (see the Cuban Missile Crisis for an example) But Putin is a bit of an outlier in that he also has Judo skills. It is a different way of getting what you want.

As for Erdogan, what the hell is going on with him lately? He seems determined to set the world on fire.

#1  A Russian missile silo officer falls asleep during his watch, with his face on the control board, and accidentally hits the "big red button". / An angry colonel bursts in, the junior officer snaps awake and proudly announces: "Nothing to report during my watch, Comrade Colonel" / "Nothing to report, you say?! Nothing to report?!! So where the hell is Belgium?!!!"
