A relevant Commission of the Azerbaijani Parliament has adopted a
statement against the resolution of the European Parliament (EP)
on Ramil Safarov and the upcoming discussion of the issue at PACE
Autumn Session.
The statement reads that Azerbaijan is suffering pressure, as Europe
has not fully got rid of dual standards. "This biased attitude of
the international organizations to Azerbaijan affects the Karabakh
conflict's resolution," the statement reads.
The statement expresses regret to the EP resolution. It also notes
that the extradition of Ramil Safarov to Azerbaijan and his pardoning
were carried out "in accordance with local laws and international
conventions."
Earlier on August 31 the Armenian authorities adopted a decision to
suspend diplomatic relations and official contacts with Hungary.
President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan made public the decision at a
special meeting with the heads of diplomatic missions on Friday after
the Hungarian authorities extradited Azeri officer Ramil Safarov,
who was sentenced by a Hungarian court to life in jail for killing
sleeping Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan with an axe in Budapest
in 2004. Both the officers were undergoing an English language course
under the NATO PfP program. The same day after Safarov's extradition,
Azeri President Ilham Aliyev decreed to pardon the criminal.
