A fragile truce between the two countries was observed for a second day on Friday after border violence erupted, according to the Associated Press. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at least 135 soldiers were killed in the fighting. The Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan announced that it lost 71. The two countries are embroiled in a conflict over who controls the Nagorno-Karabakh region, which is owned by Azerbaijan but controlled by Armenian forces since 1994. Ms Pelosi confirmed she would make the visit during a news conference in Berlin at the G7 Speakers’ Summit and said it was due to a standing invitation from Armenia. He noted how President Joe Biden recently stated that Turkey did indeed commit genocide against the Armenians. “And this is a big challenge for human rights, and we finally got it,” he said. “And we’re proud of President Biden for his role in all of this.” Ms. Pelosi said she did not know her record was public, but a reporter overheard her discussing it. “So I will not discuss the details of the visit,” he said. “You’ll see when we get there. But it’s – I was surprised because when members travel, we don’t like to be a target. So we don’t like any progress – to come except, at some point, something of that sort. And so I hope I have not endangered my colleagues with your question.” This would not be Ms. Pelosi’s first controversial trip this year. Last month, Ms. Pelosi visited Taiwan, which has drawn criticism from the People’s Republic of China.
