Minister of State Stephen Doughty said that London’s decision aims to ‘elevate bilateral relations with Armenia and Azerbaijan to a strategic partnership’.

The UK’s Foreign Office has expanded its sanctions list, citing assistance in the deportation of Ukrainian children.

The funds were linked to Azerbaijani former National Security Minister Eldar Mahmudov.

London also took issue with the ruling Georgian Dream party’s ‘false claims’ levelled at the UK.

The annual defence consultations between Armenia and the UK have been held since 2015.

The sanctions were announced on 9 May, the day Russia and other former Soviet states commemorate the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany.
