ISTANBUL. - Granting a pardon to Ramil Safarov will impact seriously
on the establishment of mutual trust between Armenia and Azerbaijan,
the Istanbul-based Director of the Europe Program Sabine Freizer told
in an online interview to Turan agency.
Her comments came after the agency asked how Safarov's extradition
and release will impact on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict negotiation
process.
If the fact of Safarov's extradition to Azerbaijan was comprehensible,
granting him a pardon is unacceptable. Relations between Armenia and
Azerbaijan are already extremely tense. In addition, talks regarding
the document on the basic principles, supported by the United States,
Russia and France within the OSCE Minsk Group have appeared in a
deadlock. Besides, incidents on the line of the contact are increasing.
She also added that the sides threaten to unleash military actions
and it seems like both nations are up for it. As for granting a pardon
to Safarov, it will only strengthen this impression.
