Speaker Pelosi strongly condemns 'illegal and deadly attacks by Azerbaijan' during visit to Armenia

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi delivered remarks in Armenia on Sunday to express support for the nation in the wake of deadly clashes with neighboring Azerbaijan.

In a press conference, Pelosi strongly condemned "illegal and deadly attacks by Azerbaijan" and added that the violence "threatens prospects for a much-needed peace agreement." She said the U.S. is watching the situation closely and continues to support a negotiated settlement.

Fighting between Armenia and Azerbaijan broke out this week as part of a decades-long standoff over the Nagorno-Karabakh region. The clash marks the biggest escalation of the conflict since 2020, when the two nations engaged in a war over the territory that left thousands dead. Each country blames the other for the renewed conflict, and a cease-fire took effect on Wednesday.

Azerbaijan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs called Pelosi's statement "deeply regrettable" and "unfair," writing in a release Sunday that it is "a serious blow to efforts to normalize relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan."

foreshadowing of UKRs tactics against Russia.

Employing such elements as the creative use of drones, the Azeris wiped out the arguably "superior" resources of the Armenians such as (Russian) tanks, anti-aircraft & artillery.

Only because Russia stepped in to stop the conflict were the Armenian forces in Nagorno-Karabakh not a complete wiped out.

I wonder if Armenia has adjusted to 21 century warfare?

Can Russia constrain the parties now?
