YEREVAN. - The international community's approach toward the
Hungarian-Azerbaijani arrangement was unanimous and united, Armenia's
FM Edward Nalbandian said Tuesday during his joint news conference
with Luxembourg's Deputy PM and FM Jean Asselborn.
In response to the query as to how Armenia evaluates such attitude
by European organizations, Nalbandian stated:
"There is no international organization that did not express its
negative attitude toward this deal. The European Union not only made
that statement, but, also, other statements were made by the European
Union-member countries.
I have received dozens of telephone calls in the recent days from the
FMs of a variety of countries, who have expressed their unequivocal
attitude toward this Azerbaijani-Hungarian deal. There is no country
today that could express its support to what transpired. There is no
country that expresses its support to Azerbaijan," Armenia's FM noted.
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.
Ramil Safarov's pardoning is condemned by virtually all international
organizations.
