YEREVAN, SEPETEMBER 6, ARMENPRESS: Czech Republic is concerned about
the latest events related to the extradition and pardoning of Ramil
Safarov, the murderer of Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan. VÃt
KoláÅ~Y, the head of press department of Czech Ministry of Foreign
Affairs noted in the exclusive comment for Armenpress.
"Czech Republic is concerned by the news that Azerbaijani officer
Ramil Sahib Safarov, who had been condemned in Hungary in 2006 to
life imprisonment for the murder of Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan
in 2004 and who was extradited to Azerbaijan to serve the rest of
his sentence, was pardoned by presidential decree and released. The
Czech Republic joints fully to the yesterday's Statement of High
Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and
Security Policy/Vice President of the Commision and tefan Fule,
European Commissioner for Enlargement and Neighbourhood Policy", -
cites Armenpress.
The Czech Republic is certain that this step does not contribute to
the efforts of international community towards strengthening mutual
confidence between parties to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and
weakens the peace process.
Ramil Safarov hacked Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan in Budapest on
February 19, 2004. The officers were participating in English training
courses in the framework of NATO's programs in Budapest. Hungarian
court sentenced Ramil Safarov to life imprisonment. On August 31, 2012
Hungarian authorities decided to extradite the assassin to Azerbaijan,
where he was granted pardon by the president Ilham Aliyev. Furthermore
he has been advanced in career, provided with an apartment and a
passport. Armenia suspended relations with Hungary.
