Nagorno Karabakh: Refugees

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the recommendations on page 20 of the report 'Disability Equality in Armenia', published by the Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust in April, and in particular, the recommendation for the UK to provide further assistance to refugees from Nagorno–Karabakh in Armenia, including bespoke assistance for refugees with disabilities.

Answer

The UK remains in close contact with the Armenian Government and our international partners to assess humanitarian needs in the region, including for those who have entered Armenia as a result of conflict. We are ready to consider any further requests for assistance where needs are identified by the Armenian authorities and international humanitarian relief organisations.
