The European Parliament's resolution condemning the release, promotion
and reward of the Azerbaijani axe-killer reaffirms that the country
has breached the European Court rulings, says Shahen Gantaharyan,
the editor-in-chief of the Lebanese-Armenian newspaper Azdak.
According to him, the document's interpretation gives way to no
other conclusion.
Commenting on each single clause of the resolution, he says that the
decision to pardon Ramil Safarov calls into question the motives
behind the murderer's extradition. Gantaharyan notes that the act
conflicts with the subject matter of an August 15 letter sent to
Hungary by Vilayat Zahirov, a deputy justice minister of Azerbaijan.
"Apart from the advocacy phase, this resolution contains clear-cut
advantages for Armenia in the political-legal domain. The adoption
of this resolution can be considered a positive start for the second
important phase," he says, adding that a reference do a document
envisaging sanctions for Azerbaijan could be very important in
this regard.
