Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you for the question. I will refer to the agreement we have with Turkey. The key elements of that say Turkey must inform Canada of any intent to re-export any Canadian military-use component, whether stand-alone or fixed to or integrated into another platform or system, t

Foreign Affairs committee  Yes. Frankly, we wouldn't have entered into an agreement if we weren't confident that the agreement would be followed. We had a previous question on this. Canada and Turkey continue regular bilateral consultations. We will continue to review this agreement.

Foreign Affairs committee  The appeal has not been completely funded. Forgive me. I was looking at the figures last night, and I believe there's about $47 million left, but I'll need to get back to you to confirm that. That's a guess at this point, to be frank, but it has not been filled.

Foreign Affairs committee  So far it's $3.9 million, as I outlined before, with $2.5 million of that to ICRC, $1 million to UNHCR, $350,000 to World Vision Canada and $40,000 to Red Cross and Red Crescent.

Foreign Affairs committee  I'm not aware of any plans at this point.

Foreign Affairs committee  I believe they are in good faith. I also believe that they're incredibly difficult after decades of hostility. There are no doubt very tough negotiations going on. We also just had the election in Azerbaijan on February 7, and President Aliyev's very unhelpful comments in early J

Foreign Affairs committee  I think that's absolutely helpful. Turkey has very close relations with Azerbaijan, so any indication of a warming of relations with Armenia and Turkey is a good thing. That's something to watch. Turkey has linked normalization with Armenia to peace discussions between Armenia

Foreign Affairs committee  I would say that it's absolutely helpful. It's a sign of not just our political moral support but tangible physical support for Armenia and the region. On Monsieur Dion's report, we have put things in place to implement a number of the recommendations from that report. We still

Foreign Affairs committee  Ethnic cleansing is a term that has been used frequently in the context of this conflict. It is not, however, recognized as an independent crime under international law. It may constitute an element of a crime falling under the ICC jurisdiction—and I would note Armenia has just s

Foreign Affairs committee  I cannot speak for our ambassador to the UN, but I can say there were lots of expressions of deep concern over what was happening at the time in an effort to ensure that such activity stopped. I'd put that statement in that category.

Foreign Affairs committee  I think what I said was that ethnic cleaning may be a constituent part of other legally recognized crimes and that we would look to a legal process to recognize those crimes per se.

Foreign Affairs committee  I would look more to an independent investigation to make that determination.

Foreign Affairs committee  Again, I will defer to our ambassador to the UN.

Foreign Affairs committee  In terms of the border skirmishes, the border is obviously a very tense area. I take it as a very good sign that the peace talks are ongoing, despite what we understand was a sniper attack on the 13th, not by Armenian forces but by a militia-type group, and then the shelling that

Foreign Affairs committee  As part of the conditions for export permits to Turkey, there needs to be an end-use statement that the goods will not be re-exported outside of any NATO allies, other than Ukraine. There is always the option to reimpose the blanket pause, if you will, on exports.
