YEREVAN. - Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev will arrive in France
on September 18. And, in this connection, a mass demonstration will
be held in front of Azerbaijan's embassy in Paris.
Not accepting the reality of the arrangement reached between Azerbaijan
and Hungary, Armenians across the globe continue to hold events that
express their dissatisfaction and disagreement, Armenia's Diaspora
Ministry press service informs.
But residents from Lyon, Marseille and other French cities likewise
will join this protest being organized at the initiative of the
Coordination Council of Armenian Organizations in France (CCAF).
Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier that Ramil Safarov, a lieutenant
in the Azerbaijani military, was extradited on August 31 from Hungary,
where he was serving a life sentence-and with no expression of
either regret or remorse-for the premeditated axe murder of Armenian
lieutenant Gurgen Margaryan, in his sleep, during a NATO Partnership
for Peace program in Budapest back in 2004.
As expected, Ramil Safarov's return to Baku was welcomed, as was
his act of murder, by the officials of president Ilham Aliyev's
government and much of Azerbaijani society, and the Azerbaijani
president immediately granted him a pardon.
And Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan announced on August 31 that
Armenia is suspending its diplomatic ties with Hungary.
Ramil Safarov's pardoning is condemned by virtually all international
organizations.
