    S.D. HUNCHAKIAN PARTY CONDEMNS THE EXTRADITION AND SUBSEQUENT PARDON OF AZERI MURDERER SAFAROV

    The Armenian Branch of the Social Democrat Hunchakian Party issued
    a statement condemning the extradition and subsequent pardon of the
    convicted Azeri murderer Ramil Safarov.

    Safarov had been serving a prison sentence in Hungary, where
    he had killed an Armenian officer while both were attending a
    training course at a military academy in the capital, Budapest, in
    2004. The Azeri soldier, without any regret, confessed that he had
    hacked the Lieutenant Gurgen Margaryan to death and was sentenced to
    life imprisonment in 2004. Yet On Friday, August 31st the Hungarian
    government repatriated the Azerbaijani military officer to Azerbaijan
    where he was immediately pardoned and set free by Azeri President Ilham
    Aliyev. This prompted Armenia to cut diplomatic ties with Hungary,
    accusing it of having struck a deal to secure energy.

    In a statement the party says: "The decision of the Hungarian
    authorities to repatriate the Azeri murderer and terrorist to
    Azerbaijan is worthy of contempt. Hungary, which considers itself
    to be a devotee to the European values and the protection of human
    rights, agreed to transfer a murderer throwing a challenge to the
    whole civilized world and proving that Azerbaijani dollars are more
    important than justice."

    The Hunchakian Party welcomes the decision of the Armenian authorities
    to suspend diplomatic relations with Hungary, and expresses the hope
    that the process does not stop and Safarov receives punishment either
    in Budapest or at home in Baku . The fact of praise and glorification
    of murderers in Azerbaijan demonstrates the Armenophobic, genocidal
    and fascist atmosphere that reigns today in Azerbaijan.

    The party is confident that organizations throughout Diaspora will take
    action to make the international community give an adequate assessment
    of "Hungary's treacherous behavior and Azerbaijani fascist policy," The
    statement concluded expressing "The hour of retribution is close ..."
