Yerevan/Mediamax/. President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the
Council of Europe (PACE) Jean-Claude Mignon said that Ramil Safarov's
"liberation is unacceptable, and I am extremely disappointed by the
abusive use of a Council of Europe legal instrument in this affair".
"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,"
said Jean-Claude Mignon.
"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," PACE President
Mignon concluded.
