Armenia denies Russian troop surge. Ukraine reveals orders proving buildup

Just a moment...
On 7 July, Ukraine’s military intelligence released a Russian general’s telegram ordering a reinforcement of troops at the Russian base in Gyumri, Armenia—directly contradicting Yerevan’s public denial of the Russian military buildup the day before.(...)
“The deployment of Russian troops in Armenia is part of a complex Kremlin strategy aimed at destabilizing the global security situation.”
Could someone explain why this would "destabilize the global security situation"?
Which armed conflict would be sought here? I doubt that Russia would help Armenia to go to war against Azerbaijan again, as Azerbaijan is the lapdog of Erdogan and Netanyahu and Russia needs Turkyie for sanction evasion and Israel to facilitate Russias continued presence in Syria as Israel wants to avoid Turkiye gaining more influence there. So the only two countries where i see these troops as potentially relevant for are Armenia itself and neighboring Georgia. Both are still in the Russian sphere of influence.
