    ARMENIANS PROTEST AZERBAIJANI AXE-KILLER PARDON IN MOSCOW

    Several hundred Armenians gathered at a Moscow square on Friday to
    protest against Azerbaijan's pardon of an army officer who killed an
    Armenian officer in Hungary.

    "We condemn in the strongest terms this provocative act, which was
    designed to disturb the balance in the region," activist Yury Navoyan
    told protesters at a central Moscow site commemorating Russia's failed
    1905 revolution against tsarist-rule, RIA Novosti reported.

    The demonstration came two weeks after Azerbaijani President
    Ilham Aliyev provoked an international outcry by pardoning Ramil
    Safarov after the army officer was repatriated from Hungary on
    the understanding that he would serve out his life sentence in his
    homeland.

    At the rally on Friday, Navoyan, head of the Russian-Armenian
    Commonwealth group, hit out at a "cynical" Hungary for concluding the
    "bloody" deal to return Safarov to Azerbaijan, but was careful to
    highlight Russia's efforts to resolve the crisis.

    Friday's rally was also attended by the leader of the Liberal
    Democratic party, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who used the stage to launch
    an attack on what he described as a "corrupt" Europe.

    "Some money changed hands, and a Hungarian court made its decision,"
    Zhirinovsky said, as he waved a fist in the air.
