Congressman Berman criticizes extradition and release of Ramil Safarov
YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 1, ARMENPRESS: US congressman Howard Berman issued a statement on occasion of extradition and release of blood-mad Ramil Safarov. Armenpress reports that in the statement is particularly mentioned: "Hungary's release of Azerbaijani officer Ramil Safarov, the convicted murderer of Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan is a gross miscarriage of justice. That Safarov in a premeditated fashion killed Margaryan at a NATO Partnership for Peace event underscores the cynical brutality of his act. For the Hungarian Government to have demonstrated leniency in this matter is of grave concern.The Hungarian government owes the Magaryan family, the Armenian nation, all its NATO partners, and all participants in Partnership for Peace a sincere explanation and a profound apology for its inexplicable act. The Azerbaijani government's decision to free Safarov is contemptible and a serious blow to hopes for Armenian-Azerbaijani peace."
