Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment his Department has made of reports of civilian deaths near the line of contact separating Armenian and Azeri troops in Nagorno-Karabakh.
The UK was concerned by the escalation in violence on 4 July that resulted in two civilian deaths and one wounded in the Azerbaijani settlement of Alxanli. The UK regrets the loss of life in the conflict and continues to urge the sides to exercise restraint and work with the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe's (OSCE) Minsk Group to negotiate a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
