Hungarian MPs support Azerbaijan`s decision on the pardon of military
officer Ramil Safarov -- who was extradited to his home country after
serving part of his life sentence in Hungary for killing an Armenian
officer in Budapest in 2004, two of the country`s lawmakers said
at a recent meeting with Azerbaijani Ambassador Vilayat Guliyev,
the Azerbaijani embassy said.
Marton Dyondoshi, deputy chairman of parliamentary committee on foreign
affairs, who met with Ambassador Guliyev along with MP from Jobbik
party in the Hungarian parliament Tamas Heqedus, said most of the
people who protested in Budapest over the decision of the Hungarian
authorities to extradite the Azerbaijani officer do not know about
the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the occupation of
Azerbaijani lands and the real reasons for the killing of the Armenian
officer by Safarov.
Dyondoshi said the leaders of political parties are trying to use such
protests to their advantage. The MP added that he tried to clarify
the issue in his interviews with Hungarian media.
Ramil Safarov hails from Jabrayil, one of Azerbaijan`s regions that
are under Armenian occupation. Safarov, 35, who participated in NATO
exercises in Hungary, was charged with the murder of the Armenian
officer, Gurgen Margaryan, who insulted the Azerbaijani flag, and
was handed down a life sentence by a Budapest court. Safarov was
extradited to his home country on August 31 and on the same day he
was pardoned by President Ilham Aliyev.
