Turkey had a hand in the extradition of Ramil Safarov, an Azeri
officer who has killed a sleeping Armenian, Director of the Oriental
Studies Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia,
Turkologist Ruben Safrastyan told journalists on Tuesday.
But, according to the expert, Turkey will stay in shadow, leaving
Azerbaijan alone to answer for this. Shortly the Turkish authorities
may appear with some vague statements in an attempt to pass the buck.
"Hungary has cast a shadow on Europe's reputation while Azerbaijan
can no longer be regarded a civilized country. That country has proved
once again that it is a totalitarian state and that democratic Nagorno-
Karabakh cannot be part of it," the expert said.
Safrastyan did not expect such a response from Russia. "For Russia
political and economic interests are more important than humanity,"
he said.
As regards the United States, he expected such a quick reaction. "The
Americans have proclaimed themselves as an absolute democracy, so,
it would be strange if they ignored that mean act," Safrastyan said,
urging the Armenian authorities to do their best to make use of
that situation.
