The British Foreign Minister is at the center of a scandal related to a post about Nagorno-Karabakh

British Foreign Minister David Lamy is at the center of a political scandal. Moreover, it is related to his post about Nagorno-Karabakh.

The main reason for the criticism is his article, in which Lami wrote that last year Azerbaijan “managed to liberate the territories lost in the early 90s”. The Armenian side has already demanded an explanation.

As reported by The Daily Telegraph, after this publication appeared on September 16, the Armenian Embassy in Great Britain demanded clarification on whether the position of official London has changed on the topic raised by the minister.

Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs Alisha Kearns also demanded immediate clarification on whether there had been a “significant change in the UK’s position and tone of statements”.

In addition, he emphasized that statements that “contrary to established policy in Great Britain” are completely inappropriate for discussion on a personal blog and “call into question the prudence of the minister”.

New York University Saint John professor Mark Movsisyan called this expression of the British minister “heartless and ignorant”.
