YEREVAN. - The Armenian Ministry of Justice is continuing its
activities in connection with the Ramil Safarov case, the Justice
Minister's press secretary Karine Kalantaryan told Armenian
News-NEWS.am.
At the same time, however, she did not specify what kind of work has
been done so far.
To note, President Serzh Sargsyan had instructed the Ministry of
Justice to take all measures to apply to the international judicial
tribunals, and with respect to the Safarov case.
Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier that Ramil Safarov, a lieutenant
in the Azerbaijani military, was extradited on August 31 from Hungary,
where he was serving a life sentence-and with no expression of
either regret or remorse-for the premeditated axe murder of Armenian
lieutenant Gurgen Margaryan, in his sleep, during a NATO Partnership
for Peace program in Budapest back in 2004.
As expected, Ramil Safarov's return to Baku was welcomed, as was
his act of murder, by the officials of president Ilham Aliyev's
government and much of Azerbaijani society, and the Azerbaijani
president immediately granted him a pardon.
And Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan announced on August 31 that
Armenia is suspending its diplomatic ties with Hungary.
Ramil Safarov's pardoning is condemned by virtually all international
organizations.
