Support for Armenia

SIR – Azerbaijani forces continue to encroach into the sovereign territory of Armenia.

On May 12, 400 soldiers invaded the provinces of Gegharkunik and Syunik. On May 25, an Armenian serviceman was fatally wounded. And on May 27, six Armenian servicemen were captured, who are now vulnerable to torture, indefinite imprisonment or even slaughter in Azerbaijan.

The UK’s policy of “talking” is seriously insufficient. Effective action is needed to end Azerbaijan’s impunity and to prevent further bloodshed. Baroness Cox (Crossbench)
