Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the current political situation in Armenia; and, in particular, (1) the reports of an attempted military coup, and (2) the recent protests in the country.
The UK Government supports both the democratically elected Government in Armenia and the right of the Armenian people to protest peacefully. We followed closely the events surrounding public comments made by senior Armenian military figures, and have urged all parties to abide by democratic and constitutional processes in a calm and peaceful manner.
