Baku. Anakhanum Hidayatova – APA. The UK Embassy in Azerbaijan has commented on the visit of two MPs from the British Armenian All Party Parliamentary Group to the occupied territories of Azerbaijan. The Embassy told APA that this visit has been arranged by the Armenian authorities: “They met a wide range of contacts as part of their visit including a meeting with representatives from the de-facto “Nagorno-Karabakh authorities.” UK parliamentarians are free to meet with whoever they wish. They do not represent the British Government and any meeting with the de-facto “Nagorno-Karabakh authorities” does not represent a change in UK policy on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The UK does not recognize the de-facto “Nagorno-Karabakh authorities” or their declaration of independence. The UK supports Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity and the OSCE Minsk Group-led peace process. Finally, we encourage Azerbaijan and Armenia to accelerate efforts to achieve a negotiated settlement based on the principles of refraining from the threat or use of force, territorial integrity and peoples’ right to self-determination.”
Members of the British Armenian All Party Parliamentary Group Stephen Pound and John Wittingdale paid a visit to Nagorno Karabakh on September 18.
