Putin’s and Lavrov’s silence on Ramil Safarov’s extradition is surprising. Today during the interview with “1n.am News and analysis” mentioned France’s Strategic Research Foundation expert, political scientist, Kayts Minasyan.
He noted that yesterday USA president Barack Obama condemned Ramil Safarov’s extradition, through his messenger, stressing that he is concerned about Hungary’s decision. USA MP’s also condemned such a decision. In his context he considered all the other countries’ silence also surprising. He thinks that Armenia should write a letter to the Co-Chairs of Minsk Group.
“Russia’s message is not clear here, there was a man who stood closer to Putin and assisted in the process. Russia indirectly imposes a pressure on Armenia for a non clear position for the Eurasian Union. Lavrov’s silence who himself has Armenian origins, RF silence is amazing; there is something in this silence”.
“G. Margaryan’s murder happened during the NATO training in Budapest, Russia tries to understand where leads the Armenian-NATO cooperation, Russia wants to show the Armenian President’s oversight, the idea that hi is not a good president. Russia tried to impose this idea on the citizens of Armenia, but I think it should be the opposite,” said the French political scientist, emphasizing that according to the Armenia diplomacy, they should let speak the co-chairs express their views.
Note that the Hungarian government made an extradition of Azerbaijani officer Ramil Safarov who has brutally killed an Officer of Armenian Armed Forces. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has signed a decree of pardon for Safarov.
