Written Question
Nagorno Karabakh: Humanitarian Aid
Tuesday 7th December 2021

Asked by: Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party - Strangford)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what diplomatic steps her Department has taken to help ensure access of humanitarian aid to the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

Answered by Wendy Morton

In September, I [Minister Morton] announced that the UK had contributed £500,000 to a United Nations Development Programme initiative to take action on mines left in the region as a legacy of the conflict in and around Nagorno-Karabakh. The region is one of the most heavily contaminated with land mines in the world and the money the UK has given will eventually allow people to live safely and without fear of harm from unexploded ordnance. This funding complements the £1 million the UK gave last year to the ICRC in the immediate aftermath of the conflict. The UK Government continues to consider what further support we might provide to the people of Armenia and Azerbaijan in the coming months as they recover from the conflict and we continue to call for international humanitarian agencies to have unrestricted access to the whole region.
