Yerevan/Mediamax/. Official representative of the Russian Foreign
Ministry, Alexander Lukashevich, said today that "Russia is deeply
concerned about the reports that Azerbaijani serviceman Ramil Safarov
was granted pardon."
"It is with deep sorrow that Russia has heard the reports that
Azerbaijani serviceman Ramil Safarov, who was sentenced to life in
prison by the Hungarian court for the brutal murder of an Armenian
officer in Hungary in 2004, was granted pardon, and that the Hungarian
authorities decided to extradite him to Azerbaijan," Lukashevich said.
"We think that the actions of Azerbaijani and Hungarian authorities
run counter to internationally coordinated actions, first of all taken
by the OSCE Minsk Group, aimed at decreasing tensions in the region.
We also expect that relevant assessment of the given situation will
be provided to OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs in the nearest future,"
the Russian official stated.
