PARIS SAYS SAFAROV PARDON "RISKS SERIOUSLY DAMAGING" NEGOTIATION EFFORTS
The French Embassy in the United Kingdom
Sept 3 2012
France expresses her concern following the announcement of the pardon
granted to Mr Safarov by the Azerbaijani authorities on Friday,
31 August. In Hungary in 2006 the Hungarian courts sentenced him to
life imprisonment for the unspeakable murder of an Armenian officer
in Budapest in 2004.
France, who, like the other co-chairs of the Minsk Group, is strongly
committed to a peaceful solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,
believes that this decision risks seriously damaging the negotiation
efforts and the establishment of a climate of trust between the
parties./.
