European Parliament head Martin Schulz expressed horror Tuesday after
Azerbaijan brushed aside criticism of its pardon for a soldier who
axed an Armenian officer to death in his sleep.
"The convention on the transfer of sentenced people should not be
abused for political purpose," Schulz said in a statement.
"I am disturbed by what appears to be a politically motivated pardon
of Mr Safarov by the president of Azerbaijan," he added, while urging
Azerbaijan and Armenia "to avoid any moves and statements that might
exacerbate the situation."
