"President Obama is deeply concerned by the announcement that the
President of Azerbaijan has pardoned Ramil Safarov following his
return from Hungary," NSC Spokesman Tommy Vietor declared.
"Safarov confessed to the murder of Armenian Army officer Gurgen
Margaryan in Budapest in 2004, and was serving a life sentence in
Hungary for this brutal crime. We are communicating to Azerbaijani
authorities our disappointment about the decision to pardon Safarov,"
he said.
"This action is contrary to ongoing efforts to reduce regional tensions
and promote reconciliation. The United States is also requesting an
explanation from Hungary regarding its decision to transfer Safarov
to Azerbaijan, Tommy Vietor stated.
