"We strongly condemn those attacks," Pelosi said. "This was initiated by the Azeris and there has to be recognition of that."Pelosi said it was clear that the border fighting was triggered by Azeri assaults on Armenia and that the chronology of the conflict should be made clear. A senior Armenian official expressed unhappiness last week with the response of a Russian-led military alliance to Yerevan's request for help.
