We continue to encourage the Azerbaijani authorities to provide clarity on the rights and security of ethnic Armenians who wish to return to Nagorno-Karabakh.

The UK Government's position remains that it is essential that all credible allegations of atrocity crimes during conflict are urgently, transparently and fully investigated by the relevant competent authorities.
