Touching upon the extradition of Ramil Safarov, pardoning him and
making a hero out of him in Azerbaijan, ARF-D Bureau member Hrant
Margaryan said on air of A1+:
"The Armenian foreign ministry with its embassies, consulates doesn't
show adequate activeness, particularly if we compare it with the work
of Azerbaijan's corresponding structures. I don't wish to blame the
ambassadors, the consuls. Probably, they also have their share of fault
but I think the work is not being organized at all, no instructions
are being given. We aren't as much represented in other countries
in political and diplomatic terms as Azerbaijan, our representation
is not sufficient. It's true, Azerbaijan's budget gives them wider
opportunities but it must not be in a ratio against everything and
nothing. The target of our embassies is often communities and not
the state".
According to the ARF-D Bureau representative, Armenia has also to work
in the legal field, it is necessary to turn to the European Court,
as, though a transfer of a convict is not illegal, but a criminal
cannot but be punished.
