UK Position on Karabakh Settlement Exactly Determined

“The position of the UK over settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict has been exactly determined, Azerbaijani Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the UK Rafael Ibrahimov said in an interview with BBCRussian.com. In his words, the UK supports negotiation process within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group and “recognizes the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan.” “As a UN Security Council member the country backed all 4 resolutions (822, 853, 874 and 884), adopted by the organization in 1993 and chaired one of them. London follows with attention the talks and supports the rapid resolution of the conflict in a peaceable way. The UK is not member of the OSCE Minsk Group,” the Azeri diplomat added. In his words, the special envoy of the British government, Brian Fall, regularly visits the region and holds meeting and exchange of opinions on a large specter of issues including the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. “From the very beginning of the conflict London supported the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and abides by its position,” the Azeri Ambassador to UK said.
