Serzh Sargsyan: The murder of an Armenian is no longer considered a
crime in Azerbaijan

Yerevan/Mediamax/. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan stated that `the
murder of an Armenian is no longer considered a crime in Azerbaijan’.

The President said this on December 19 addressing the Summit of heads
of member states of the Collective Security Treaty Organization
(OSCE).

`The Azerbaijani propaganda brings up a whole generation in an
atmosphere of xenophobia and intolerance. My words may be proved by
the formation of an image of a hero over the faint-hearted and
cowardly murderer, who was extradited to Baku by Hungarian
authorities. He was immediately released and given a military rank, as
well as paid the salary for the years spent in Hungarian prison. Thus,
the murder of an Armenian is no longer considered a crime in
Azerbaijan. And this happens in the 21st century, in a country which
is a member of the UN Security Council,’ said Serzh Sargsyan.
