PanARMENIAN.Net - Members of European Parliament voted on adoption of
a previously debated resolution on Hungary-extradited Azeri criminal
Ramil Safarov convicted for murdering Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan
in Budapest.
The MEPs involved in the debate slammed Azerbaijan and Hungary,
calling Safarov's pardon and heroization unprecedented, unacceptable
and shocking for the whole civilized world.
As they noted, Azeri President Ilham Aliyev behaved like a "mafia
boss," his actions proving that killing an Armenian is a sure way
to be hailed a hero in Azerbaijan. The MEPs urged Baku to provide
guarantees that a due punishment will be given to Safarov.
Hungary was admonished for the lack of attention in negotiating
Safarov extradition with Baku.
Parliament members were understanding of Yerevan's suspending ties
with Budapest. Some, however, noted that Armenia's harsh response
may harm Karabakh conflict settlement efforts.
The MEPs further suggested deeper involvement of the European
Parliament in Karabakh issue, also stressing the necessity of
intensifying peace talks.
The debates were followed by a resolution on Safarov's extradition
and pardon.
