Safarov extradition sanctioned murder of Armenians - union![]() August 31, 2012 - 20:31 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The Union of Armenian Associations in Sweden commented on the pardon granted to the Armenian officer’s murderer by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. “We strongly condemn this distasteful act by the President of Azerbaijan, which not only clearly marks the regime's extremely hostile attitude towards Armenia and Armenians, but is an obvious mockery towards justice,” the Union said. What Baku has done is nothing but sanction for the murder of Armenians. Justice also seems to have completely collapsed in Hungary, which it has disregarded its own laws,” it said. “By pardoning Safarov, the regime in Azerbaijan has brought its hatred to new heights while pretending to be resolving the Nagorno Karabakh through peaceful means,” the Union said.
