YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 1, ARMENPRESS: US congressman Howard Berman issued
a statement on occasion of extradition and release of blood-mad Ramil
Safarov. Armenpress reports that in the statement is particularly
mentioned: "Hungary's release of Azerbaijani officer Ramil Safarov,
the convicted murderer of Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan is a gross
miscarriage of justice. That Safarov in a premeditated fashion killed
Margaryan at a NATO Partnership for Peace event underscores the
cynical brutality of his act. For the Hungarian Government to have
demonstrated leniency in this matter is of grave concern.The Hungarian
government owes the Magaryan family, the Armenian nation, all its NATO
partners, and all participants in Partnership for Peace a sincere
explanation and a profound apology for its inexplicable act. The
Azerbaijani government's decision to free Safarov is contemptible and
a serious blow to hopes for Armenian-Azerbaijani peace."
