WASHINGTON. - The U.S. is "not satisfied" with explanations from Baku and Budapest over Azeri killer Safarov case, the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Philip Gordon told Radio Liberty.

“Washington continues to express ‘dismay and disappointment’ to Budapest about its decision to extradite Ramil Safarov to Baku,” he said adding Washington is sending the same message to Azerbaijani government, which granted a pardon to Safarov immediately.

 "We were appalled by the glorification that we heard in some quarters of somebody who was convicted of murder," Gordon said.

He called the case "a real provocation in the region."
