YEREVAN. - Armenia's opposition Heritage Party issued a statement
in connection with the extradition of the life-sentenced murderer
Ramil Safarov from Hungary to Azerbaijan and with the regional and
international developments generated by this move.
"As a result of extraditing the life-sentenced criminal Ramil Safarov
from Hungary to Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijani president got the chance
and deliberately ceased the administration of justice towards a
notorious criminal. The step taken by Ilham Aliyev is unlawful in
essence, it is a provocation threatening to regional stability and
is an expression of fanatic enmity and hatred towards Armenians.
The country led by a president giving that sample of unlawful,
provocative and xenophobic conduct cannot be considered a bearer of
values declared by the United Nations and take a seat at UN Security
Council. The Heritage Party considers that Armenia and especially
the Hungary must raise the issues of expelling the Azerbaijan from
the UN Security Council and transmitting Ramil Safarov to the Hague
International Court at the UN General Assembly.
The Heritage Party values the responses of all international
structures, governments and leaders who condemned the illegitimate and
willful misconduct of Azerbaijani President. We also regret that some
other players at international scene simply called the both parties
to pursue quietude-demonstrating a superficial approach to the problem.
Still in both cases an insufficient attention was paid to
anti-democratic and corrupted essence of Azerbaijani statehood revealed
in full nudity.
According to some publications in Hungary the Azerbaijan had offered
2-3 billion dollars veiled bribe to Budapest for extraditing Safarov.
If a President may dismiss the needs of millions of citizens,
including the refugees, and entitle himself to waste three billion
dollars to make his crazy longing become true then it's a thorough
proof of absence of state order in the country.
The Heritage Party invites her sister-parties within EPP and especially
the governing Fidesh party of Hungary, as well as the Governments of
EU countries to attach attention to this unveiled reality and assumes
there's a ground to discuss the suspension of EU Association Agreement
negotiations with Azerbaijan, until a control over the budget and
an end to the arbitrariness of the leaders will be established in
that country.
Regretfully since the 1988 pogroms in Sumgait the anti-Armenian lunacy
in Azerbaijan rarely attracted that much international attention
and had that illustrative expression as the developments around the
Safarov case did. The Heritage Party considers that the emerged
situation is an appropriate ground to introduce the core essence
of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to the new generation entered to
political-diplomatic circles, to reinstate the necessity of engaging
the NKR representatives into the Minsk group peace negotiations
and to argue the imperativeness of recognizing the independence of
Nagorno Karabakh.
At the same time under the light of the ongoing developments the
Heritage party considers rightful for the Armenian Parliament to
discuss and recognize the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh first and
therefore proposed the relating bill at National Assembly," Heritage
Party's statement reads.
