    ARMENIAN JUSTICE MINISTRY TAKING STEPS ON SAFAROV'S CASE

    YEREVAN. - Armenian Ministry of Justice has taken steps in all
    directions on international appealing of Safarov's pardon. Minister
    of Justice Hrayr Tovmasyan said in the parliament on Wednesday.

    His remark came in response to the question of MP from the ruling
    Republican Party of Armenia Hayk Babukhanyan what steps the Armenian
    Government is taking on international appeal of Azerbaijani killer
    Ramil Safarov's pardon.

    According to Tovmasyan, as it is not considered appropriate to spread
    or distribute the details of the steps, he can only say that experts
    are involved.

    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 he was declared a
    national hero. On the same day Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan
    announced that Armenia is suspending its diplomatic ties with Hungary.
