On Spetember 14 Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Elman Abdullayev announced that European Parliament resolution on the issue of extradition and clemency in Azerbaijan of Ramil Safarov, sentenced to life imprisonment in Hungary for the murder of an Armenian officer, is politicized and does not consider the subject matter.
“In Azerbaijan the case of Safarov is a closed question. His extradition was made within legislations. The resolution shows once again that the European Parliament depends on the influence of the Armenian lobby, “- said Abdullayev.
According to him, Azerbaijan calls on the European Parliament to a deeper consideration of Safarov’s issue, and “the international community should worry more about the fact of occupation of Azerbaijani lands by Armenia, than the question of extradition of Ramil Safarov.”
Recall that on September 13 the European Parliament adopted a resolution, in which he expressed regret for pardon of Azerbaijani officer Ramil Safarov.
