Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps the Government is taking to support investigations into human rights abuses during the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh.

The UK Government is aware of reports of human rights abuses taking place during the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. I have raised allegations of war crimes and human rights abuses with the Governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan and urged that they be thoroughly investigated.
