YEREVAN, OCTOBER 1, ARMENPRESS: Parliamentary Assembly of Council
of Europe has approved the discussion of the issue on criminal Ramil
Safarov disgraceful extradition to Azerbaijan. As Armenpress reports
citing PACE official web site as a result of short discussions
PACE Bureau decided to include the issue raised by Armenian MPs
in Parliamentary Assembly's autumn session agenda as an urgent and
topical one and discuss it in October 3 plenary session.
Earlier PACE Chairman Jean Claude Mingon expressed concern over the
deteriorating of relations between Armenian and Azerbaijan because of
the decision to grant amnesty to Ramil Safarov by Baku. "I join all
those who condemn the justification of monstrous crime perpetrated by
Safarov, the crime for which he had been sentenced to life imprisonment
by European Union member country. His release is unacceptable and
I am deeply disappointed that Council of Europe's bodies have been
abused for legalization of such actions " PACE Chairman stated.
"Safarov release has a negative impact on the already strained
relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and further destabilization
of the situation in the region. I am calling Azerbaijani side to
reconsider its position conforming it with the European standards"
Mingon noted.
PACE autumn session was launched in Strasbourg, on October 1.
