Public figure: no Muslim will back Azerbaijan in eulogy of murderer
September 1, 2012 - 17:55 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - The recent developments in Hungary and pardon of a
criminal by Azerbaijan have expanded the gap between the Armenian and
Azeri people, according to a representative of United Caucasus Youth
Assembly.
`The murder of an Armenian office and the reaction of the Azerbaijani
people proved Azerbaijan's hostility towards Armenia,' Rafi Abdul
Jabar said.
`It's not a secret that Azerbaijan will seek support among the Muslims
of Caucasus and Afghanistan, but will hardly get such. After a
murderer was treated like a hero, no Muslim will back Azerbaijan, as
the Koran equates the taking of even one human life unjustly with
killing all of humanity,' he said.
`A real Muslim would condemn but never laud a murder of a man,
especially a man in his sleep,' the activist said.
Ramil Safarov, who was sentenced to life by a Hungarian court for the
murder of Armenian office Gurgen Margaryan in February 2004, was
extradited to Azerbaijan on Aug 31 and immediately pardoned by the
country's President Ilham Aliyev.
In response, Armenia suspended diplomatic relations with Hungary.
