PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Foreign Minister commented on numerous
Azeri violations of agreements and promises at a joint briefing with
UK Minister for Europe David Lidington.
To prove his point, Edward Nalbandian cited Baku's non-fulfillment
of a deal to create a mechanism for investigation of incidents at
contact line, as agreed at a joint meeting between Armenian, Azeri
and Russian Presidents in Sochi.
The Armenian official also reminded about Baku's attempts to undermine
Karabakh settlement, Azeri violations of ceasefire as well as release
of axe-killer Ramil Safarov.
"Baku's actions do noting but widen the chasm between Azerbaijan and
international community," Nalbandian stressed. Ramil Safarov, the
Azerbaijani army officer who was serving a life sentence in Hungary
for axing to death Armenian Lt. Gurgen Margaryan, was extradited to
Azerbaijan and pardoned by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.
Official Yerevan reacted by suspending diplomatic ties with Hungary.
Hungary, however, states that it had sent Safarov back to Azerbaijan
after receiving assurances from the Azerbaijani Justice Ministry that
Safarov's sentence, which included the possibility of parole after
25 years, would be enforced. According to some reports, Safarov was
extradited to Azerbaijan in exchange for Azeri purchase of Hungarian
securities worth Euro 2-3 billion, an information official Budapest
denies.
