Members of different political parties in the Swedish Parliament sent a letter to the Hungarian Ambassador in Sweden Gabor Szentivanyi expressing concern by consequences of murderer Ramil Safarov’s extradition and possible impact on the relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

In a letter MPs joined the international condemnation of the ‘glorification’ of the terrible crime which Safarov committed, the Union of Armenian Associations in Sweden said.

“The conduct of Baku has been condemned by several international instances, among others UN Secretary General, EU President, the President of the European Parliament, the Chairman of the Council of Europe as well as the governments of the permanent chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group, denouncing it as incompatible with the ongoing peace process.

Mr. Ambassador, we as Member of the Parliament of Sweden wish to find out how Your Government, a member of the European Union, will now react to this breach of rules and agreements and demand Baku to honour international laws according to which the extradition was performed.

News media and Hungarian opposition claim that Azeri financial assurances to the Hungarian Government played a crucial role in the extradition which has now harmed the peace process conducted by OSCE Minsk Group.

We hope that the Hungarian Government can clarify this issue in a proper manner. At the same time we hope that Your Government will takes decisive measures for reprimanding Baku for their breach of international laws, endangering the fragile peace process of Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as for having dishonored the agreement made between the Justice Departments of respective country,” reads the letter provided by the Union.
