The civilized Europe does not care a bit about civilization, guiding
itself by realpolitik, political analyst Levon Shirinyan has said,
commenting on the decision to extradite Ramil Safarov to Azerbaijan
According to him, the move has nothing to do with either politics or law.
`All this demonstrates that we have first of all to strengthen our
state because what happened was just a realpolitik that bears no
relationship to politics or law,' he told reporters on Saturday.
Safarov, who was sentenced to life in prison for brutally killing
Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan in Hungary was extradited to
Azerbaijan where he was granted pardon by the country's president,
Ilham Aliyev.
Shirinhyan called on the top-class political circles to get rid of
their humanistic attitude to Europe.
`I propose convening urgently an Armenian lobbyist conference to
discuss the steps that could be made in the near future,' he said.
He recommended the Armenian authorities to wait until the Syrian
conflict is settled, noting that the toppling of the Assad regime
could lead to quite a lot of new developments in the region.
