YEREVAN. - In connection with Ramil Safarov's extradition to
Azerbaijan, where he was granted pardon, Armenia is not attending
the CIS Internal Affairs Ministers' Council sessions, which kicked
off Friday in the Azerbaijani capital, Baku.
Considering the fact that the Council's chairmanship is being
transferred to Azerbaijani Minister of Internal Affairs Ramil Usubov,
the Armenian party will boycott the Council's sessions, Armenia's
Police informed Armenian News-NEWS.am.
Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier that Ramil Safarov, a lieutenant
in the Azerbaijani military, was extradited on August 31 from Hungary,
where he was serving a life sentence-and with no expression of
either regret or remorse-for the premeditated axe murder of Armenian
lieutenant Gurgen Margaryan, in his sleep, during a NATO Partnership
for Peace program in Budapest back in 2004.
As expected, Ramil Safarov's return to Baku was welcomed, as was
his act of murder, by the officials of president Ilham Aliyev's
government and much of Azerbaijani society, and the Azerbaijani
president immediately granted him a pardon.
And Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan announced on August 31 that
Armenia is suspending its diplomatic ties with Hungary.
