    The European Union-Armenia Parliamentary Cooperation Committee (PCC)
    Co-Chair Milan Cabrnoch released a statement on Ramil Safarov release,
    which reads, in part:

    "In my capacity as Chairman of the European Parliament Delegation to
    the EU-Armenia, EU-Azerbaijan and EU-Georgia Parliamentary Cooperation
    Committees, I express my deep concern about the Azerbaijani President's
    decision to pardon Ramil Safarov, who was supposed to serve a life
    sentence for brutally murdering Gurgen Margaryan, an Armenian military
    officer, in Hungary in 2004.

    For a number of years, the Members of our Delegation have redoubled
    their efforts in order to contribute to the improvement of relations
    between Armenia and Azerbaijan through the parliamentary dialogue and,
    most recently, also through the Euronest PA.

    Moreover, we have intensified the bilateral contacts with Armenia
    and Azerbaijan, by making use of the instruments of parliamentary
    diplomacy, in the hope to reduce regional tensions, promote
    reconciliation and contribute to finding a viable solution to the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

    Our Delegation has made it clear to its Armenian and Azerbaijani
    counterparts that respect for human rights, the rule of law and
    European values should always be at the heart of their European
    integration aspirations. In this context, the decision of Mr Aliyev
    might be seen as a dangerous misuse of judicial proceedings.

    I urge the authorities of Azerbaijan to show their commitment to the
    values I mentioned and strongly encourage Azerbaijan and Armenia to
    remain engaged in a reconciliation process."
