By pardoning murderer Ramil Safarov, Azerbaijani President Ilham
Aliyev has consolidated the idea on the necessity to recognize the
NKR's independence among the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs, MP from
the Orinats Yerkir Party Faction Hovhannes Margaryan said at today's
press conference.
He said that after such manifestation of Azerbaijan's xenophobia
against Armenians, the presence of the Armenian-populated
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic in the structure of Azerbaijan is out of
question. Consequently, the only guarantee of security for the NKR is
the recognition of its independence. He also pointed out that Armenia
should demand legal and moral assessment of this incident. He added
that the resolution adopted by the European Parliament on September
13 has become the first crack in the concrete wall.
In the meantime, MP from the ruling Republican Party of Armenia
Mkrtich Minasyan thinks that the resolution was too mild and did not
force Azerbaijan to take steps to come out of the current situation.
"This resolution does not say a single word about the debates; the
EP members only expressed their regret and called on the parties to
something inconceivable", he said. Minasyan added that the resolution
has had a negative effect on the EU image, as everybody has understood
that moral standards have no value.
Leader of the Democratic Party of Armenia Aram Sargsyan pointed out
that the resolution will not affect the trade and economic cooperation
of Azerbaijan and the EU countries. "This proves that nobody is
interested in morality, everybody pursues their own interests",
he said.
To note, on September 13 the European Parliament adopted the resolution
condemning extradition of Ramil Safarov from Hungary and pardoning
in Baku. One of the speeches made during the session characterized
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev as a mafia boss, who supports his
follower. The participants also touched on the Karabakh peace process
and the rough violation of the Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced
Persons. The document says that Ilham Aliyev's decision on pardoning
Safarov escalates the tension between the sides even more.
