    FRANK PALLONE: 'I AM OUTRAGED BY THE RECKLESS ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE GOVERNMENT OF AZERBAIJAN'

    Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06), co-chair of the Congressional
    Armenian Issues Caucus, issued the following statement condemning the
    Azerbaijani Government's pardon of Azerbaijani military officer Ramil
    Safarov, who was sentenced to life in prison in Hungary for murdering
    an Armenian officer in 2004. He was sent back to his homeland and
    immediately pardoned and freed by Azerbaijan's president:

    "I am outraged by the reckless actions taken by the government
    of Azerbaijan in freeing Ramil Safarov, an Azerbaijani soldier who
    brutally murdered an unarmed Armenian soldier during a NATO-sponsored
    training program in Hungary. It is extremely egregious that the
    President of Azerbaijan has issued a decree granting pardon to a
    convicted murderer and has allowed him to walk free despite his
    conviction.

    "These are not the actions of a government that is dedicated to
    justice and peace. Unfortunately, the actions taken by Azerbaijan
    only further confirm their desire to facilitate and condone violence
    against Armenia and its people.

    "I believe that the United States government should stand in
    solidarity with the Armenian government in condemning the actions of
    the governments of Azerbaijan. Further, I call upon the Azerbaijani
    government to acknowledge Ramil Safarov as a convicted murderer and
    immediately take action commensurate with a democratic nation that
    supports justice under the rule of law."
