The UK Embassy in Azerbaijan has received a number of enquiries regarding this week's parliamentary hearing in the House of Commons, APA reports.
This was stated in a statement by the UK Embassy in Azerbaijan.
"We understand there is significant interest in this matter, and we want to be clear about how the UK system works.
The British Embassy Baku represents His Majesty’s Government and communicates the UK Government’s foreign policy positions. The Embassy does not speak on behalf of the UK Parliament, which is a separate and independent branch of the UK’s constitutional system.
Parliament operates independently of the Government, and its hearings, debates, and inquiries reflect the views of individual Members of Parliament or parliamentary committees, not the policy of His Majesty’s Government.
It would therefore not be appropriate for the Embassy to comment on the content or conduct of parliamentary proceedings. All enquiries should be directed to the UK Parliament via www.parliament.uk.
The UK Government's position on the South Caucasus is clear and unchanged: we recognise Azerbaijan's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and we support the ongoing normalisation of relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia as the path to a lasting and peaceful settlement," the statement emphasized.
It should be noted that on February 25, hearings titled “Erasing the Past: The Destruction of Cultural Heritage” were held in the House of Commons. Allegations regarding the so-called “destruction of Armenian heritage” in Karabakh were discussed.
