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 ..."
