"Secret talks have been held under the serious control of President
of Azerbaijan for extradition of Safarov for about a year. At the same
time Ilham Aliyev supervised the negotiations between the law
enforcement agencies of Azerbaijan and Hungary for a long time. A
crucial role in the resolution of this issue belonged to an agreement
reached during the visit of the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
Ramil Safarov was extradited to Azerbaijan through the determination
and perseverance of the President of Azerbaijan," Head of the Foreign
Relations Department of the Presidential Administration of Azerbaijan
Novruz Mammadov told Mass Media when commenting on extradition and
pardon to Ramil Safarov, who was sentenced to life in jail by the
Hungarian Court.
"Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev signed an order to pardon Ramil
Safarov, as soon as he set foot in Azerbaijan. The Head of State once
again proved that he is the President of every citizen of the country.
But, unfortunately, there are people who have attributed Safarov's
return home to others. False information in connection with Safarov's
release was distributed. Everyone should understand that the
extradition of Ramil Safarov to Azerbaijan is a sensitive topic. This
issue carried a special political burden. The Armenian side has
conducted anti-Azerbaijani campaign, invented various charges on this.
Therefore, steps to extradite Ramil Safarov to Azerbaijan were taken
in a completely closed environment:. There simply was not necessary to
inform the public about this sensitive topic ahead of time. There is
no doubt that our nation is well aware of and appreciate it. But some
people have tried to gain dividends on this, Mammadov said.
Earlier on August 31 the Hungarian authorities extradited Azerbaijan
Officer Ramil Safarov, who was pardoned by the Azerbaijani president
the same day.
To recall, on February 19 2004, R. Safarov viciously axed sleeping G.
Margaryan in Budapest. Both the officers were undergoing an English
language course under the NATO PfP program. On April 13 2006 the
First Instance Court of Budapest sentenced Safarov to life
imprisonments without the right to pardon for 30 years. In February
2007 the Court of Appeal left the verdict unchanged. President of
Armenia Robert Kocharyan decreed awarding Gurgen Margaryan with
Gallantry Medal posthumously.
