YEREVAN. - Armenia's Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian met, on
Thursday in New York, with Eamon Gilmore, the OSCE
Chairperson-in-Office and Ireland's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign
Minister.
They discussed the damage which the Azerbaijani-Hungarian arrangement
has caused to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict's settlement process. In
this connection, the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office highly appreciated
Armenia's commitment to resolve the matter by way of negotiations, MFA
Press Service informed Armenian News-NEWS.am.
Nalbandian and Gilmore also reflected on the OSCE's agenda issues,
and, in this regard, Armenia's FM expressed a support to the Irish
chairmanship's initiatives to raise the Organization's effectiveness.
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.
