YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 4, ARMENPRESS: Representative of Socialist party of France, Senator Philippe Kaltenbach expressed deep concern on occasion of extradition and pardon of Azerbaijani blood-mad Ramil Safarov. Armenpress reports that in the statement released on occasion of the case Kaltenbach stresses that the punishment of the criminal given by Hungarian justice had to be respected and implemented fully.

"In 2004 officer Gurgen Margaryan was murdered only because he was Armenian. The murderer who did that crime today is released and pardoned sending an awful and unacceptable massage to all those who work for reconciliation of two countries" said Kaltenbach.

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.
