To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer 17 November 2026 to Question 89462 on Armenia: Religious Freedom, what steps her Department is taking to monitor developments in relations between the Government of Armenia and the Armenian Apostolic Church; whether she is taking steps to support efforts to protect the Church and to seek accountability for attacks against it; and what metrics she is using to assess the potential impact of those steps.
Answered by Stephen Doughty
UK officials in London and at the our Embassy in Yerevan continue to monitor developments in the relationship between the Armenian Government and the Armenian Apostolic Church. We have consistently underlined the importance of all actions being fully in line with Armenia's constitutional and legal framework, ensuring that due process is respected and that all individuals are treated fairly under the law, with judicial proceedings remaining transparent and impartial. The Government remains firmly committed to the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of religion or belief worldwide.
