    European parliamentarians seriously protest the position of Armenia
    on the Ramil Safarov's extradition.

    The members of the German Bundestag and UK House of Lords strongly
    condemned the position of official Yerevan on this issue.

    The European Azerbaijan Society (TEAS) told APA that O. Gutting said,
    according to European legislation, there aren't any doubts in legality
    of Ramil Safarov's extradition: "That's why we call the Armenian
    government and the Armenian Diaspora to reduce their critical tone
    on our partner Hungary. Armenia's claims against Hungary and its
    accusation of the violation of international rules are false and
    baseless.

    The calling for protest actions in front of Hungarian embassies will
    facilitate new conflict situations and this isn't the right way from
    the point of view of confidence increasing and objective evaluation
    of Ramil Safarov's extradition to Azerbaijan.

    Such statements of Armenian president Serz Sargsyan prevent the
    peace in the Southern Caucasus. Despite flaming this issue, Armenia
    must recognize the legality of this extradition and return back to
    the negotiations.

    The member of Germany Bundestag, the chairman of the committee on
    foreign affairs of current fraction of Christian Democratic and
    Christian-Social Union Philipp Mißfelder expressed his opinion on
    the issue of Ramil Safarov's extradition to Azerbaijan.

    The European Azerbaijan Society reports that Philipp Mißfelder
    said that Hungary as a European Union member is attached to UN's
    legislation, that's why there aren't any doubts in the legality
    of Ramil Safarov's extradition to Azerbaijan: "The stoppage of
    Armenia-Hungary diplomatic relations due to this issue is an
    unacceptable step made by the Armenian government. "The claims of
    Armenian government that the Ramil Safarov's extradition to Azerbaijan
    by our close partner Hungary endangers the peaceful negotiation
    process between Azerbaijan and Armenia" do not responds the law and
    legislation standards in Azerbaijan.

    The stoppage of diplomatic relation with Hungary endangers the purposes
    of the Armenian government in approaching the UN".

    Philipp Mißfelder considers that, in fact, the elections in the
    so-called Nagorno Karabakh Republic that were held on July 19, 2012
    seriously spoiled the efforts made by international communities on the
    way for creation of normal neighboring relations and establishment of
    peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia: "One-side result of the so-called
    elections hampered the possibilities on the way of peaceful solution
    of Nagorno Karabakh conflict".

    The Member of UK House of Lords Lord Ken Maginnis, commented on the
    aggressive position of the Armenian government on the Ramil Safarov's
    extradition.

    The European Azerbaijan Society (TEAS) told APA that Ken Maginnis noted
    that everything, which will cause tension in this sensitive region,
    must be prevented. "The release of Ramil Safarov, who convicted to
    8 years for killing an officer of Armenian Army, caused an offense
    in Armenia and Armenian Diaspora. However Armenians must accept
    that Azerbaijanis and Turks became enraged on release of Armenians,
    who were sentenced due to murder and terrorism. The incidents such
    as an attack to the department of the Turkish Airline at the airport
    of Paris led to death of Turkish and European citizens.

    "Despite it, neither the international community nor the Western
    press condemned these terrorists release."

    Ken Maginnis noted that Armenians continue to threaten Turkish and
    Azerbaijani diplomats: "The tension through the contact line have
    increased recently. I called the sides to calm down and try to avoid
    confrontation."

    Lord Laird, member of UK House of Lords, also shares the same opinion.

    He noted that the release of Ramil Safarov after 8 years caused
    a strict reaction in Armenia: "There is a danger that reaction of
    Armenians will go beyond all limits" In response to Safarov's pardoning
    , they threaten to start a new war in Nagorno-Karabakh, to suspend
    their diplomatic relations with Hungary and kill Azerbaijanis living
    in Europe. But it was not reported that Jabrayil region, where Safarov
    was born, has been under occupation for 20 years. "

    Lord Kilclooney, member of UK House of Lords, also commented on
    the issue: "Ramil Safarov, who killed an officer of Armenian Army,
    was extradited from Hungary to Azerbaijan and released. Obviously,
    Armenians themselves have released their citizens who committed
    terrorist acts abroad. Instead of calling Armenians to reduce the
    tension Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, intends to start a new war.

    We have already seen how the "frozen" conflicts blaze up. The Armenian
    president who has felt the taste of the war during the occupation
    of Nagorno Karabakh should understand that a return to hostility can
    have horrible consequences for both sides.

    Lord Kilclooney said the importance of neutral participators in the
    peace process as mediatior of the Belfast Agreement: "The statements
    of the OSCE Minsk Group don't give hopes for future."
