Russia's MFA has no intentions of responding to Azerbaijan's protest note.
According to Azerbaijani media, this note refers to Russian State Duma
MP, and Liberal Democratic Party leader, Vladimir Zhirinovsky's
statements made during a demonstration that was staged in Moscow on
September 14. Zhirinovsky had specifically protested `axed murderer'
Ramil Safarov's extradition and subsequent pardon.
Russia's Ambassador in Baku was summoned to the Azerbaijani MFA on
Tuesday and was handed a protest note in connection with Zhirinovsky's
statements, Yerkramas newspaper of the Russian Armenians reports.
Offensive remarks addressed to Vladimir Zhirinovsky were made in Baku,
and Nagorno-Karabakh's non-existent `Azerbaijani community' leader
Bayram Safarov considered him as enemy of the entire Turkish-speaking
world.
`I had come to express my solidarity with all Armenians. When they
release a murderer, give him rewards, [and] virtually make a
celebration, I consider such actions to be monstrous,' Vladimir
Zhirinovsky had stated.
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.
