    FM: RAMIL SAFAROV'S EXTRADITION IS DECISION OF HUNGARIAN GOVERNMENT

    Trend
    Sept 14 2012
    Azerbaijan

    Decision of the Prime Minister of Hungary to extradite Ramil Safarov
    is the decision of the government, Hungarian Foreign Minister Janos
    Martonyi told journalists, the Hungarian edition Rolitics.hu reported.

    "The decisions of the prime minister and the government are the same.

    Otherwise, the government would organize debates on this issue,"
    Martonyi said.

    According to the Foreign Minister, the issue of his resignation is
    not discussed and he is loyal to the office of Prime Minister.

    Ramil Safarov was born on August 25, 1977 in the Jabrail region
    of Azerbaijan. Safarov 34, who participated in NATO exercises in
    2004 in Hungary, was charged with the murder of Armenian officer
    Gurgen Margaryan, who insulted the Azerbaijani flag. As the result
    of the verdict by the Budapest court, Safarov was sentenced to life
    imprisonment without the right of pardon during 30 years.

    Immediately after the Azerbaijani officer's release, Armenian President
    Serzh Sargsyan announced that Armenia suspends diplomatic relations
    and all official contacts with Hungary.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
    including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.

    Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
    co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France and the U.S. -
    are currently holding peace negotiations.

    Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
    resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
    surrounding regions.
