Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will publish the dates of his meetings with his Armenian counterpart on tensions between their country and Azerbaijan since 1 January 2022.

I have not met with my Armenian counterpart in 2022. However, in calls with Armenian Foreign Minister Mirzoyan on 15 September, former Minister for Defence People and Veterans (Leo Docherty), reinforced the need for a cessation of hostilities and a return to substantive negotiations to settle all outstanding matters between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The United Kingdom will continue to work with both parties in the coming months to support efforts to secure regional stability and security.
