PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia doesn~Rt run the immediate danger of
terrorist threat, according to Azeri studies expert.
As Sargis Asatryan noted at Yerevan-hosted news conference, Armenia
is a monoethnic state, without religious or national minorities
struggling for independence in the country.
However, Asatryan didn~Rt rule out the threat of localized terrorist
acts, specifically the murder of Armenians abroad. ~SAzeri President
Aliyev~Rs pardoning Ramil Safarov for axe-murdering Armenian officer
was a message to repeat the crime,~T the expert said.
Ramil Safarov, the Azerbaijani army officer who was serving a life
sentence in Hungary for axing to death Armenian Lt. Gurgen Margaryan,
was extradited to Azerbaijan and pardoned by Azerbaijani President
Ilham Aliyev.
Official Yerevan reacted by suspending diplomatic ties with Hungary.
Hungary, however, states that it had sent Safarov back to Azerbaijan
after receiving assurances from the Azerbaijani Justice Ministry that
Safarov's sentence, which included the possibility of parole after
25 years, would be enforced.
According to some reports, Safarov was extradited to Azerbaijan in
exchange for Azeri purchase of Hungarian securities worth Euro 2-3
billion, an information official Budapest denies.
