PanARMENIAN.Net - Russian Foreign Ministry has eventually issued
a statement, commenting on Hungary's extradition of assassin Ramil
Safarov, who was granted pardon on his arrival to Azerbaijan.
"Russia, as OSCE Minsk Group co-chair, is deeply concerned over
Baku's pardon of lieutenant Ramil Safarov, sentenced to life in
prison for murdering an Armenian officer, as well as the Hungarian
leadership's decision to extradite him to Azerbaijan," spokesman for
Russian Foreign Ministry Alexander Lukashevich commented.
"The actions of Azeri and Hungarian leadership run counter to
international efforts to decrease regional tensions," the spokesman
