The Supreme Spiritual Council held an emergency sitting at the Mother See
of Holy Etchmiadzin chaired by His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch
and Catholicos of All Armenians.
The Supreme Spiritual Council expressed concern over the release of the
Ramil Safarov, an Azerbaijani officer, who brutally killed Armenian army
officer Gurgen Margaryan during NATO courses in Budapest. The Council
adopted the following statement:
`The Armenian Apostolic Church severely condemns the decision of the
Hungarian authorities to transfer murderer Ramil Safarov to Azerbaijan and
the fact of granting pardon to the criminal. This is another demonstration
of the policy of hatred against Armenians pursued by the Azerbaijani
authorities. Unfortunately, an EU member Hungary, which cherishes the
principles of democracy and justice, supported the nasty program of
justifying an Azerbaijani murderer, a fact, which is pregnant with the
threat of murders on the basis of nationality and religion. Human life is
God-given and an intentional murder is a crime against humanity and God.'
The Spiritual Council calls on all servants of the Armenian Apostolic
Church, the world-spread pious Armenians to raise their voice of protest
for the sake of protection of our national rights. The council also applies
to Sister Churches and all religious organizations to raise their voice for
the sake of justice and truth.
