During the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) fall
session, which will get underway on October 1, the Armenian delegation
plans to raise-and on numerous occasions-the matter concerning
Ramil Safarov's extradition and subsequent pardoning, the Armenian
delegation's head Davit Harutyunyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
In Harutyunyan's words, during the session all of Armenia's delegates
will make statements with respect to this incident.
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.
