To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the establishment of the EU’s Civilian Mission in Armenia on 23 January; and what expectations they have for its work.

The UK Government remains fully supportive of all efforts by international partners, including the EU, to help to secure peace and stability in the region, and remains in close contact with these partners to support their efforts. During his visit to Azerbaijan on 22 February the Minister for Europe, Leo Docherty MP, reinforced the importance of Armenia and Azerbaijan reaching a sustainable negotiated peace settlement. He will deliver the same messages in his forthcoming visit to Armenia.
