September 1, 2012 - 16:26 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - The Council of the International European Movement
in Armenia has addressed a letter to President of International
European Movement Jo Leinen, Chairman of working group of
International European Movement on Enlargement and Neighborhood
Ksenija Milenkovic, President of European Movement in Hungary Norbert
Kroo and President of European Movement in Azerbaijan Ramin Hajili.
`It was a huge disappointment to receive the information about the
extradition of Ramil Safarov by Hungarian authorities. As we
predicted, the president of Azerbaijan pardoned the killer immediately
and the Azerbaijani society honored the killer as a hero,' the letter
says.
`All of us, as the members of European Movement, are honored to follow
and spread the European values. During our mission we appreciate our
role in our societies and nations being the locomotive of European
integration process. While being a member of EU and NATO, Hungary, by
extraditing Ramil Safarov, betrayed all these values, discredited the
European reputation and exchanged the justice for caviar.
Not aiming to comment further, European Movement of Armenia rejects to
send a delegation to Baku, Azerbaijan for a meeting planned for
November 2012. We have nothing to do in a country where the killers
become heroes even by the society.
European Movement in Armenia supports the decision of the President of
the Republic of Armenia on cutting diplomatic ties with Hungary.
We call the President of International European Movement to make an
immediate statement, to assess the actions of Hungarian authorities,
to demand from the Council of Europe to suspend the membership of
Azerbaijan and to demand from EU to drop the assistance provided to
Azerbaijan. We expect the same from our colleagues in European
Movements in Hungary and Azerbaijan.'
