PanARMENIAN.Net - The President of the Parliamentary Assembly of
the Council of Europe (PACE) condemned the release of Azeri criminal
Ramil Safarov given a life term for murdering an Armenian officer.
"I join the international condemnation of the 'glorification' of
the terrible crime which Mr Safarov has committed, and for which he
has been condemned by a court in a Council of Europe member state,"
Jean-Claude Mignon said.
"His liberation is unacceptable, and I am extremely disappointed by the
abusive use of a Council of Europe legal instrument in this affair."
"This scandalous liberation is having very negative consequences
on the already-strained relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan,
and also risks destabilising the situation in the region. I call on
the Azeri authorities to reconsider their position, in line with the
standards and the ethos of the Council of Europe," Mr Mignon concluded.
