the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement, received reports with
deep concern regarding the clemency of Baku Azeri serviceman Ramil
Safarov, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for the commission
of the murder of an Armenian officer with an extreme atrocity in
Hungary in the 2004, as well as regarding the preceded decision of
the Hungarian authorities to extradite him to Azerbaijan.

authorities to run counter to the efforts agreed at international

tension in the region.

given by the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group in the near future.
