PanARMENIAN.Net – Armenian Turkologist Ruben Melkonyan commented on
recent extradition and release of Azeri criminal Ramil Safarov, given
a life sentence in Hungary over the murder of an Armenian lieutenant.

“If international organizations fail to react to Safarov’s extradition,
leaving Azerbaijan unpunished for pardoning the murderer, one can
safely say that any cannibal tribe in Africa could become affiliated
with them,’ the expert told a news conference.

“Recent events proved Azerbaijan’s pursuit of systematic policy of
Armenophobia, while bringing up a criminal society.”

“Azerbaijan is on the loosing side of foreign policy issues, with
recent events clearly showing that Aliyevs haven’t learnt even the
most basic diplomacy lessons,” the expert said.

Meklonyan went on to draw parallels between Turkish and Azeri
societies, noting heroization of criminals as common occurrence in
both countries.

“Azerbaijan’s naming a street or a school after a criminal should
serve as a warning to Europe,” the expert said.
