Statement misjudged the issue"
Former UK prisons minister, MP Gerry Sutcliffe estimated ON Armenians
aggressive position on Ramil Safarov's extradition. According to the
information the European Azerbaijan Society gave APA the transfer of
Ramil Safarov to Azerbaijani custody and subsequent pardon has caused
a firestorm amongst the Armenian government, the Armenian Diaspora and
its supporters: "As a result threats have been made against Azerbaijani
diplomats, diplomatic relations with Hungary has been severed, the
Armenian President has upped the war rhetoric and Safarov himself
has been targeted. It is noteworthy that the press and some members
of various European parliaments have also been quick to judge.
It should be pointed out however that the transfer of Safarov was
carried out in accordance with the European Convention on the Transfer
of Sentenced Persons. Moreover, Armenia itself has helped release
and pardoned a number of its citizens convicted of terrorist attacks
over the last 20 years. The background to this case of course is
that not a single Armenian, including the current Armenian President,
has ever been prosecuted for the killing of thousands of Azerbaijani
civilians during the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. An ongoing 20 year
stalemate between the two sides continues to this day with Armenia
steadfastly occupying almost 20% of Azerbaijani territory displacing
around 900,000 of its citizens, despite four UN Security Council
resolutions demanding the withdrawal of troops".
The mp noted that the open sore on Europe's border cannot be allowed
to fester any longer: "Violence and the threat of violence only breed
more violence. It is a time for cool heads and statesmanship on all
sides. The international community must do its party to finally ending
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict".
Members of UK House of Lords Ken Maginnis, Lord Laird and Lord
Kilclooney also commented on the aggressive position and threats by
Armenian authorities and terrorist organizations on the extradition of
Ramil Safarov. They considered this extradition as legal and reminded
that Armenia pardoned its terrorists. They also discussed occupation
of Jabrayil region, where Ramil Safarov was born and called on Armenia
to show restraint.
