Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether the UK vetoed a proposal by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs at the UN Security Council on a ceasefire in Nagorno-Karabakh at the most recent UN Security Council meeting.

The UK did not veto a proposal by the Co-Chairs regarding a UN Security Council Presidential Statement on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Regrettably, although the UN Security Council was united in seeking an end to the conflict, members were unable to reach an agreed version of the text.
