answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2022 answer text <p>Although the UK Government is aware of these reports we have not made an assessment on their reliability. However, the UK Government remains concerned by reports of ceasefire violations in Nagorno-Karabakh and deeply regrets the loss of life caused by exchanges of fire between the parties to the conflict. During his meetings with the Azerbaijani Ambassador on 29 March and the Armenian Ambassador on 31 March, the Minister for Europe and Americas reinforced the urgent need for a diplomatic solution to ongoing tensions in the region to ensure stability and security.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 12/04/2022 14:43:24 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2021 answer text <p>On 14 June the Minister for the European Neighbourhood spoke to Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Bayramov. She welcomed the return of Armenian prisoners of war/detainees by the Azerbaijani Government and the subsequent handover of mine maps by the Armenian Government. We continue to monitor the situation and understand from Azerbaijani government reports that as of 9 June 2021, 27 Azerbaijanis have been killed and over 100 injured by explosive remnants of war. We are deeply concerned by this ongoing loss of civilian life.</p><p>The UK Government continues to urge both countries, most recently at the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe on 3 June, to work together to ensure that humanitarian organisations have unimpeded access to the region and that de-mining maps are urgently provided to ensure the safety of civilians. Last week the MOD sent Counter Explosives Experts to survey parts of Azerbaijan worst effected by unexplored ordnance to understand how the UK can best support Azerbaijan in this area.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 21/06/2021 13:47:35 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
