    Armenian ombudsman accuses Baku of putting pressure on Azeri officer's trial

    YEREVAN

    The fact that the Azerbaijani side has invited the Hungarian
    parliament commissioner for civil rights (ombudsman), Barnabas
    Lenkovics, to meet the parents of Ramil Safarov, the murderer of
    Armenian officer Gurgen Markaryan, is an attempt to put psychological
    pressure, Armenian ombudsman Larisa Alaverdyan said in an interview
    with our Noyan Tapan correspondent.

    Thus, Mrs Alaverdyan stressed, the Azerbaijani side is continuing to
    politicize issues, abusing the circumstance that Azerbaijan is the
    host country of the 3rd international forum of European and CIS
    ombudsmen. At the same time, she notes that the Hungarian ombudsman
    will find it difficult to reject the proposal. "This testifies to the
    low level of civilization, it is necessary to respect laws and
    international norms of human rights," the Armenian ombudsman stressed.

    Pointing out that she has not received an invitation to the aforesaid
    forum in Baku, Mrs Alaverdyan described "the crude technologies" of
    Azerbaijani sources in covering the issue of her participation in the
    Baku forum as "a base method of defiling the human rights sphere".
