USA urges Azerbaijan to meet commitments that they reportedly made
to the Hungarians in advance of Safarov’s release, Victoria Nuland,
U.S. Department of State, Spokesperson, said at Daily Press Briefing
on September 10.
“We, as you know, issued a statement about this after the Hungarians
released him back to Azerbaijan, and we have been in touch with the
Azerbaijanis and urging them to meet commitments that they reportedly
made to the Hungarians in advance of the release.”
“We have some concerns, as we said at the beginning, about that issue
in particular,” she said.
To recall, the leadership of Azerbaijan assured Budapest in the written
form that after extradition to Azerbaijan Ramil Safarov will continue
serving his sentence. Nevertheless, Safarov, who was sentenced to
life in prison by the Hungarian court for murdering Armenian officer
Gurgen Margaryan, was pardoned and promoted to higher rank by the
President of Azerbaijan.
