    SAFAROV WAS ACTING UNDER AZERI LEADER'S ORDERS, EXPERT SAYS

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Axe-killer Ramil Safarov was a mere puppet in
    Azerbaijan's leader's hands, acting under Ilham Aliyev's orders,
    a political analyst believes.

    As Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan told a news conference, Safarov case is
    being misrepresented, when in reality, the criminal merely got his
    payment for executing presidential order 8,5 years ago.

    "Safarov was Azeri way of suggesting no Armenian can be at rest until
    Baku gains control of Karabakh," the expert said.

    Ramil Safarov, the Azerbaijani army officer who was serving a life
    sentence in Hungary for axing to death Armenian Lt. Gurgen Margaryan,
    was extradited to Azerbaijan and pardoned by President Ilham Aliyev.

    Official Yerevan reacted by suspending diplomatic ties with Hungary.

    Hungary, however, states that it had sent Safarov back to Azerbaijan
    after receiving assurances from the Azerbaijani Justice Ministry that
    Safarov's sentence, which included the possibility of parole after
    25 years, would be enforced.

    According to some reports, Safarov was extradited to Azerbaijan in
    exchange for Azeri purchase of Hungarian securities worth Euro 2-3
    billion, an information official Budapest denies.
