Safarov’s pardon won’t make Armenia withdraw from NKR negotiation process, ИА REGNUM writes referring to the Armenian FM Eduard Nalbandyan’s statement in the press conference with his Argentinean colleague Hector Marquez Timerman in Yerevan on September 4. “The fact of setting the murderer free already has negative impact on the regulation of NKR negotiation process as well as on peace and stability in the region, but Armenia doesn’t even try to get out of negotiation process, failing negotiations is Azerbaijani style of acting. Safarov’s extradition had the same purpose.”- announced the minister of Foreign Affairs of RA.
Nalbandyan reminded that Armenia had agreed on the offer OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries to take out the snipers from the contact frontline, whereas Azerbaijan rejected the offer. International community mustn’t let Azerbaijan lead its wrong policy.
As Regnum informed earlier on August 31, the Azerbaijani officer Ramil Safarov sentenced to life-imprisonment for killing an Armenian officer in 2004 during NATO trainings in Hungary was extradited to Azerbaijan. Afterwards the Azerbaijani president gifted him pardon and promoted with the rank of mayor. On this occasion the president of RA Serzh Sargsyan convened an emergency session of National security service and consultation with ambassadors and announced of stopping diplomatic relations with Hungary.
