Mr. Geoff Hoon, the British Minister of State for Europe, Foreign &
Commonwealth, stated that the UK recognizes the sovereignty and
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan to include Nagorno-Karabakh. He
made the statement at a meeting of British parliament, Trend reports.

The statement testifies UK’s unambiguous attitude towards belligerent
Armenia’s separatist actions against Azerbaijan.

We also support the efforts of the Organization for Security and
Co-operation in Europe Minsk Group to find a negotiated settlement of
the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh
(NK).

He also commented on other conflicts in the region. The UK recognizes
the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia to include South
Ossetia and Abkhazia. "We do not recognize the claims to independence
of the separatist movements in these regions. The UK supports the
peaceful resolution of the conflicts in these regions and is working
to address the recent tension between Georgia and Russia. We
co-sponsored UN Security Council Resolution 1716 extending the
mandate of the UN Observer Mission in Abkhiazia. The EU issued a
statement on 17 October calling on Georgia and Russia to resume
dialogue and focus on reaching a peaceful resolution of the conflicts
in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, with full respect for Georgia’s
sovereignty and territorial integrity."

The UK also recognizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity of
the Russian Federation to include all of the republics of the North
Caucasus, including Chechnya.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
