Azerbaijani side tries to justify its shameful decision
http://times.am/?l=en&p=11815
Azerbaijani side has answered to the accusations by the US State
Department. Remind that the international society and is shaken by the
Hungarian and Azerbaijani actions. Hungarian Government let
Azerbaijani criminal Ramil Safarov return his country and Azerbaijan
justified him and gave freedom to the murdered. Safarov killed
Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan in Budapest during the NATO
trainings.
Head of the Department on Work with Law-Enforcement Agencies of the
Azerbaijani Presidential Administration Fuad Alasgarov especially said
in the Azerbaijani explanation:
"The procedure for the transfer of sentenced persons to serve their
sentences is governed by the European Convention on the Transfer of
Sentenced Persons, adopted by the Council of Europe in 1983. Hungary
and the Republic of Azerbaijan ratified this Convention. According to
this Convention, a person convicted in one of the contracting parties
may be transferred to the other contracting party to serve his sentence.
The Convention does not prevent the transfer of the sentenced person
even after the entry into force of a final sentence on him.
In solving the transfer of Ramil Safarov both Hungary and Azerbaijan
fully complied with the Convention. Azerbaijan has provided all
necessary legal information on the procedure to continue execution of
sentence. Based on this information the Hungarian party has given its
consent to the transfer of Ramil Safarov.
It's necessary to clarify that the sentence passed by the Hungarian
court limited only the possibility of parole of the convict for 30
years from the date of sentencing. This restriction does not apply to
the possibility of pardon or amnesty of the convict.
Safarov was pardoned in accordance with the Constitution and laws of
Azerbaijan taking into account provisions of the Convention on the
Transfer of Sentenced Persons. The Convention provides that each party
may declare a pardon, amnesty or reduce punishment in accordance with
the current Constitution or other legislation.
The pardon is the exclusive power of the President. The criminal
legislation of Azerbaijan provides that for persons sentenced to life
imprisonment, may be pardoned through sentencing to an imprisonment
for a term not exceeding 25 years.
Ramil Safarov was under arrest since February 19, 2004, that is, he
has served more than eight and a half years of his sentence. Act of
pardon should be viewed as a substitute for life sentence to the
sentence that the convict has already served. Given this, Ramil
Safarov was released".
This step by Azerbaijan shows once more that the fascism and
xenophobia, hatred against Armenians are spread in Azerbaijan by the
Government. They released a killer and the latter is accepted as a
national hero in Azerbaijan. This shows the real face of Azerbaijan
and its society.
