"In response to reactions I want to note that the decision on Ramil
Safarov, was taken in accordance with the European Convention and the
pardon decree of the President with the Constitution of Azerbaijan.
Therefore, from a general point of view, the situation is very clear",
President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said at a press conference after
meeting with NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, APA reports
with reference to the site of the President of Azerbaijan.
The President said that those who try to accuse Azerbaijan of
violating convention, or do not know the reality, or else seek to
enter public opinion is misleading: "I also want to note that Armenia
should not use this as an excuse to damage the peace process with
Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is committed to the peaceful settlement of the
Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict on the basis of
international law. Statement by the Presidents of the co-chairs of the
Minsk Group, we are very encouraged. The statement said that the
status quo is unacceptable. This status quo must be changed. Armenia
is trying to maintain the status quo".
The President recalled that took place in July last year in Kazan
meeting was the latest attempt to find a peaceful solution. Currently,
the peace process is at a standstill:"I think that the international
community and, above all, the Minsk Group should not allow Armenia to
use it as an excuse and completely" freeze "negotiations."
The President reiterated that the decision on Ramil Safarov was taken
in accordance with the norms and rules of international law, "I just
want to remind the Armenians. The man, who in 2001 at Orly airport in
France, an act of terrorism, which led to the death of citizens of the
European countries and America, was extradited from France to Armenia.
Although he was not a citizen of Armenia, the President pardoned him.
I would not want to draw a parallel between the terrorist and our
officer. But our officer had served nine years of arrest. He was
punished, and the decision for a pardon is right from a legal point of
view. The decision taken by the President, and it is the right
decision. Azerbaijan has returned to his homeland of its officer. "
