answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2023 answer text <p>The UK remains concerned for the welfare of those in Nagorno-Karabakh affected by limited access to supplies following September's military action in the region. We welcome Azerbaijan's decision to grant UN access into Nagorno-Karabakh and encourage them to continue supporting international efforts to address humanitarian need. We also welcome Armenian and international assistance provided to the 100,000 or more people displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh into Armenia. The UK is providing £1 million to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to provide life-saving medication, healthcare and other essential support. We are liaising with the UN, ICRC and others to further assess humanitarian need in the region.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 20/11/2023 15:27:12 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/11/2023 answer text <p>The events of 1915-1916 were a tragic episode in the history of the Armenian people and must never be forgotten. The UK Government condemned the massacres at the time and our position has not changed. Any judgement as to whether genocide has occurred is a matter for a competent national or international court, rather than for governments or non-judicial bodies. We will, as ever, encourage the governments of Armenia and Turkey to look to the future and build stronger relations between their countries.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 13/11/2023 15:52:08 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty
