During a meeting of the Czech House of Representatives on Thursday
Czech Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg said that the Czech Republic
supports Armenia in the Ramil Safarov case.
"We have already informed the Armenian Ambassador about our position
and support," Schwarzenberg said, adding that the Czech Republic is
deeply concerned about the actions of the Azeri authorities and has
told them about it.
He said that the whole world is concerned over Azerbaijan's actions
and noted that the latter's image has been seriously damaged.
Schwarzenberg welcomed Armenia's constructive position to continue its
peace talks with Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh despite the incident.
The Czech FM said that the Ramil Safarov case will be discussed by
EU FMs during their informal meeting in Ninosia.
Ramil Safarov, an Azeri officer sentenced by a Hungarian court to
life in jail for brutally killing an Armenian officer in Budapest
in 2004, was extradited to Azerbaijan on Aug 31 and pardoned by the
Azeri President once back home.
