Hungary's extradition of Ramil Safarov to Azerbaijan and Ilham
Aliyev's pardon of the convicted killer have aggravated tension in the
region, but national minorities residing in Azerbaijan are a
restraining factor for Azerbaijani authorities, Azeri studies expert
Sargis Asatryan told a news conference in Yerevan.
In return, Iranian studies expert Vardan Voskanyan noted that instead
of saying `national minorities' we should say `indigenous population,'
because, firstly, they don't constitute a minority, secondly, they
lived on that territory before the state of Azerbaijan was established
in 1918.
Azerbaijan's atmosphere has changed, according to the expert.
`Let's leave aside figures close to Aliyev clan. The indigenous
population is concerned over the heroization of a murderer. In any
country, making a hero out of a murderer would cause a problem,
distorting the whole system,' Mr Voskanyan concluded.
