    YEREVAN, OCTOBER 1, ARMENPRESS: Parliamentary Assembly of Council
    of Europe has approved the discussion of the issue on criminal Ramil
    Safarov disgraceful extradition to Azerbaijan. As Armenpress reports
    citing PACE official web site as a result of short discussions
    PACE Bureau decided to include the issue raised by Armenian MPs
    in Parliamentary Assembly's autumn session agenda as an urgent and
    topical one and discuss it in October 3 plenary session.

    Earlier PACE Chairman Jean Claude Mingon expressed concern over the
    deteriorating of relations between Armenian and Azerbaijan because of
    the decision to grant amnesty to Ramil Safarov by Baku. "I join all
    those who condemn the justification of monstrous crime perpetrated by
    Safarov, the crime for which he had been sentenced to life imprisonment
    by European Union member country. His release is unacceptable and
    I am deeply disappointed that Council of Europe's bodies have been
    abused for legalization of such actions " PACE Chairman stated.

    "Safarov release has a negative impact on the already strained
    relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and further destabilization
    of the situation in the region. I am calling Azerbaijani side to
    reconsider its position conforming it with the European standards"
    Mingon noted.

    PACE autumn session was launched in Strasbourg, on October 1.

    Azerbaijani Ramil Safarov axe murdering Armenian serviceman Gurgen
    Margaryan in Budapest on February 19, 2004 while participating in
    NATO's English training courses was extradited to Azerbaijan on August
    31, 2012 by Hungarian authorities despite the fact Hungarian court
    had sentenced Ramil Safarov to a life imprisonment with no right t
    to be pardoned in 30 years time . Yet the assassin was not mainly
    released in Homeland but granted a mayor title. Armenia suspended
    relations with Hungary.

    Many international and local organizations, political forces and
    politicians have come forth with condemnation statements. Hungary
    has already declared readiness to restore the diplomatic relations
    with Armenia.
