Naira Zohrabyan, a member of the Armenian delegation o the
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) addressed PACE
delegates during the discussion of Azeri axe-killer Ramil Safarov's
extradition.
"What happened on August 31 can be viewed as one of the most
disgraceful developments of our times. Hungary, a member of the
European Union, extradited life-termer Ramil Safarov who had killed
with an axe Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan during a Budapest hosted
NATO training exercise.on arriving in Baku, the Azerbaijani murderer
was granted pardon as anti-Armenian xenophobia and Armenocide are
views as the highest national heroism in Azerbaijan.
The disgraceful deal between Hungary and Azerbaijan was concluded
before the civilized world. Moreover, delegates of this structure
[PACE] were among the people who went to the airport to welcome and
glorify Azerbaijan's `hero' who had brutally axed the sleeping
Armenian officer. Safarov's extradition heralds the fiasco of
all-European values and justice. In the result, criminal Safarov did
not only become the indicator of impartiality of European justice, but
also the biggest stigma of the entire Europe that adheres to universal
human values.
Deal colleagues,
Recently we have witnessed Azerbaijan buying European officials and
delegates with its caviar and petrodollars. Some of them are sitting
here, in this hall, beside us, and are not at least ashamed of the
libel given to them - "Azerbaijani caviar lovers."
If Europe, European organizations and PACE do not take definite
measures against Azerbaijan besides making statements they will
seriously question European justice and European values. I think that
everyone already realizes that that Nagorno-Karabakh can never be a
part of a country where a murder on ethnic grounds is considered to be
the greatest heroism.
Perhaps, Azerbaijan can afford to buy Olympic gold medals, pay an
unprecedented ransom for a coward monster that was capable to kill a
sleeping, but one thing I can tell you beyond doubt is that a country
giving birth to Safarovs and glorifying people like Safarovs should be
condemned by the civilized world.
I would like to finish my speech with the words of Azerbaijani
publicist Yusif Sufin, "With this step, Azerbaijan boosted its image
of a country that glorifies assassins."
So, it is just necessary to ask ourselves whether a country that
glorifies murderers has its place in our family," said Naira
Zohrabyan.
