Amnesty International is concerned by the actions of the Azerbaijani
government following the extradition of Armed Forces Lieutenant
Ramil Safarov as they will be perceived as an endorsement of
ethnically-motivated violence.
"These actions will ignite existing tensions between Azerbaijanis
and Armenians and encourage further ethnically-motivated violence,"
the statement runs.
The organization thinks the Azerbaijani government should rescind
any privileges awarded to Safarov and publicly condemn ethnic violence.
The Armenian government must also make clear that retaliation against
ethnic Azerbaijanis is not acceptable.
