    Swedish MPs send letter to Hungarian Embassy on Safarov's case

    Members of different political parties in the Swedish Parliament sent
    a letter to the Hungarian Ambassador in Sweden Gabor Szentivanyi
    expressing concern by consequences of murderer Ramil Safarov's
    extradition and possible impact on the relations between Armenia and
    Azerbaijan.

    In a letter MPs joined the international condemnation of the
    `glorification' of the terrible crime which Safarov committed, the
    Union of Armenian Associations in Sweden said.

    `The conduct of Baku has been condemned by several international
    instances, among others UN Secretary General, EU President, the
    President of the European Parliament, the Chairman of the Council of
    Europe as well as the governments of the permanent chairmen of the
    OSCE Minsk Group, denouncing it as incompatible with the ongoing peace
    process.

    Mr. Ambassador, we as Member of the Parliament of Sweden wish to find
    out how Your Government, a member of the European Union, will now
    react to this breach of rules and agreements and demand Baku to honour
    international laws according to which the extradition was performed.

    News media and Hungarian opposition claim that Azeri financial
    assurances to the Hungarian Government played a crucial role in the
    extradition which has now harmed the peace process conducted by OSCE
    Minsk Group.

    We hope that the Hungarian Government can clarify this issue in a
    proper manner. At the same time we hope that Your Government will
    takes decisive measures for reprimanding Baku for their breach of
    international laws, endangering the fragile peace process of
    Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as for having dishonored the agreement made
    between the Justice Departments of respective country,' reads the
    letter provided by the Union.
