  Politico: Pelosi to arrive in Armenia this weekend September 16, 2022 - 12:47 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Speaker of the U.S. House of Representative Nancy Pelosi will arrive in Armenia this weekend, amid Azerbaijan's deadly attack on the country, Politico reports. The planned trip, first reported by NatSec Daily, will come after a stop in Berlin for the G-7 Speakers’ Summit. She’ll be joined in Yerevan by Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) for a meeting with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and other government officials. Armenia and Azerbaijan have been locked in a bloody, decadeslong feud over Nagorno-Karabakh, the territory internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan but populated with ethnic Armenians. Two years ago, they fought their second big war over the contested land, leading to thousands dead and more regional power for Baku. Pelosi’s visit will mean a lot to the Armenian-American community, which has called for more political focus on the crisis. “Armenia has not received the kind of attention Ukraine has received, and this will shine a light on a country crossing an international border in violation of international law,” said Anthony Barsamian, co-chair of the Armenian Assembly of America. The Armenian Defense Ministry said on Thursday morning that no significant incidents were registered overnight. 105 Armenians have been confirmed dead so far. Photo.
