The UK position on the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has not changed, UK’s Minister for Europe Leo Docherty said at a joint press conference with Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan in Yerevan.
“The UK wants to see a comprehensive peace settlement reached as soon as possible, and we are encouraged by the recent steps of the EU and US in that direction,” the Minister said.
“The UK-Armenian relationship encompasses a wide range of areas including support to governance and economic reforms, trade, defense, culture and educational links and, of course, support to those affected by the conflict,” Leo Docherty said.
He reiterated the UK’s support to Armenia’s democratic and economic reform agenda.
"Great discussions today with Ararat Mirzoyan, including on the UK-Armenia Strategic Dialogue. We look forward to strengthening our relationship on security, defence and trade," Docherty
tweeted.
