A visit by a 20-member delegation to Nagornyy Karabakh as part of a
pilgrimage to Artsakh [Nagornyy Karabakh] and the fact that the
delegation is led by Deputy Speaker of the British House of Lords
Baroness Caroline Cox have caused mixed reactions in society. The
Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry regrets that despite the British
leadership’s definite position [on the Karabakh conflict], the member
of the House of Lords makes this move.

British ambassador to Azerbaijan Lawrence Bristow has said that
Baroness Cox [visit] does not represent the British government’s
position.
