PARIS. - The Armenians of France will 'meet' the Azerbaijani President
Ilham Aliyev on Sept. 18 with crowded protest actions, head of the
Hay Dat (Armenian Cause) office in France Hrachya Varzhapetian told
Armenian News-NEWS.am.
According to him, the protest actions will be held in front of the
Azerbaijani Embassy in France. The protest action participants will
express not only their indignation in connection with extradition
and granting a pardon to Ramil Safarov but also against policy run
by Azerbaijan towards Armenia and Artsakh [Nagorno-Karabakh].
Although Aliyev's visit is unofficial, Varzhapetian believes that
the participants will also express their protest about the fact that
French authorities allow a person who pardons and calls a murderer
a hero, to visit France.
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.
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 all international
organizations.
