Britain has expressed dismay over the unravelling of a ceasefire in Nagorno-Karabakh, a disputed mountainous region in the South Caucasus between the former Soviet republics of Armenia and Azerbaijan.

“The United Kingdom welcomed the announcement of a humanitarian ceasefire and we are dismayed to see that it is not being respected,” said Nicola Murray, deputy head of the British delegation to the Permanent Council of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), on Friday.
