PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Armenia: Azerbaijan (16 March 2021)

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he plans to make representations to the Government of Armenia on its refusal to hand over mining maps to Azerbaijan.

Asked by:
Bob Blackman (Conservative)

During my recent visit to both Armenia and Azerbaijan I highlighted UK concern over the large amount of unexploded ordnance across the region. I urged both Governments to work together to ensure that humanitarian organisations are able to have unimpeded access to the region. The UK Government will continue to work with partners to support the Governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan in securing stability and peace in the region and will continue to encourage both to refrain from unhelpful actions that may exacerbate the situation.
