Nagorno Karabakh: Refugees

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the claim that the mass displacement of Armenians from Nagorno–Karabakh constitutes ethnic cleansing.

Answer

We continue to encourage the Azerbaijani authorities to provide clarity on the rights and security of ethnic Armenians who wish to return to Nagorno-Karabakh.

The UK Government's position remains that it is essential that all credible allegations of atrocity crimes during conflict are urgently, transparently and fully investigated by the relevant competent authorities.
