Adam Schiff required explanation from Hungary and Azerbaijan

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 3, ARMENPRESS: Member of US House of Representatives Adam Schiff expressed deep concern on occasion of extradition and pardon of Azerbaijani blood-mad Ramil Safarov who had murdered with an axe Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan. "Hungary, where Safarov was supposed to be serving a life sentence and Azerbaijan owe the international community an explanation for this terrible subversion of justice. This is an appalling result in the case of a confessed killer" is mentioned in the statement of congressman as Armenpress reports.

Members of US House of Representatives Bred Sherman, Frank Pallone and Howard Berman also had condemned strictly the criminal deal of Azerbaijani and Hungarian authorities considering it as a serious blow to the norms of international law and morality, regional peace and stability.

On February 19 of 2004 in Budapest Azerbaijani officer Ramil Safarov slayed with an ax Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan when the latter was sleeping. The two officers were taking part in English language courses in framework of NATO program in Budapest. Hungarian court sentenced Ramil Safarov to life imprisonment, without a right to be pardoned during the first 30 years in jail. On August 31 of 2012 Hungarian authorites made a decision to extradite Safarov to Azerbaijan. 

Armenia has suspended diplomatic relations with Hungary.
