The United Kingdom supports the approaches of the OSCE Minsk Group and sees the solution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict exclusively through negotiations, Judith Farnworth, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to Armenia noted at a meeting with Armenian National Assembly (NA) Speaker Ara Babloyan.

According to the NA release, Judith Farnworth expressed her condolences on the death of the four servicemen, who died on the frontline in recent days, noting that those young people’s death is really painful and inadmissible in war and ceasefire conditions.

The Ambassador has stated that the countries cannot choose their geographical position, but can choose their future: the steps being taken in direction of democracy, protection of human rights, and freedom of speech are visible in Armenia, the release said.

Speaking about the Nagorno Karabakh problem, Ara Babloyan, in turn, thanked the Ambassador for the position of the United Kingdom over that issue and noted that Armenia is resolute to solve the conflict within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group.

The NA Speaker documented: “As a doctor I mostly highlight the human life and feel pain, when in peaceful conditions, young people die during the ceasefire. This is inadmissible in the 21st century and in the civilized world.”

According to the source, the interlocutors also touched upon the issues regarding the parliamentary system of government, the development of democracy in Armenia and the Armenian-British parliamentary cooperation.
