STRASBOURG. - The Parliamentary Assembly of Council of Europe (PACE)
held hearings on the case of Azerbaijani killer Ramil Safarov, who had
murdered an Armenian lieutenant with an axe in his sleep in Bucharest,
and later was extradited to Baku, granted a pardon and made a hero,
Armenian News-NEWS.am reports.
During the hearings delegates of all countries except for Turkey
and Azerbaijan stressed the inadmissibility of the action of the
Azerbaijani killer and condemned the murder perpetrated by Safarov. At
the same time Azerbaijani MPs insisted on the fact that granting
a pardon to Safarov, who was sentenced to life in prison by the
Hungarian court is 'Azerbaijan's sovereign right.'
"Azerbaijan is an important energetic partner," Azerbaijani MP Aydin
Abbasov threatened hoping energetic interests will not allow the PACE
MPs openly condemn the Azerbaijani killer and his glorification by
the Azerbaijani community.
The French MP, PACE delegate Rudy Salles put an end to the discussion
by reminding about the gravity of the crime by Azeri killer Safarov,
who had hit for 16 times with an axe the sleeping Armenian officer. He
also turned to the Azerbaijan MPs stating that the PACE has already
heard enough propaganda during the hearings.
The French MP stressed that on hearing Azerbaijani MPs' debates he
doubts whether Azerbaijan has the right to stay in PACE any more.
