    AZERBAIJANI SCIENTIST CLAIMS ALIYEV VIOLATED NORMS IN ISSUING AMNESTY TO MURDERER SAFAROV

    BAKU. - The Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev issues an amnesty
    to the murderer of an Armenian serviceman by violating laws of
    own country, Azerbaijani professor Hanlar Alikberov commented for
    contact.az website.

    Admitting the President's right to issue an amnesty to criminals, the
    scientist, however, claims that, according to the Azerbaijani Criminal
    Code, Aliyev could have issued an amnesty only to those criminals who
    are sentenced for a fixed period or for other punishments which have
    no connection to the life imprisonment.

    At the same time, the Hungary Supreme Court sentenced Safarov to life
    imprisonment and not for a fixed period. Hence, Aliyev had no right
    to set free Safarov. To the most, he could have changed the sentence
    to 25 years in jail.

    "There is no doubt that the norm contradicts to the Constitution and
    other norms and will bring forth wide discussions in the world outlets,
    which will negatively impact on Azerbaijan's international image,"
    he concluded.
