STEPANAKERT. – Extradition and granting a pardon to Ramil Safarov should not serve for Armenia as a reason to quit the negotiation process of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement, Karabakh presidential spokesperson David Babayan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

According to him, there is no need to be influenced by provocations and be led by emotions as it may be harmful. He added that the negotiation process of the Karabakh conflict will be frozen anyway, as at the moment due to the current events it is simply useless.

As for the steps which the world community should take in relation to Azerbaijan, Babayan emphasized that it should assess the event properly and rule out Azerbaijan from the influential world organizations.

Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier that Ramil Safarov, a lieutenant in the Azerbaijani military, was extradited on August 31 from Hungary, where he was serving a life sentence - and with no expression of either regret or remorse - for the premeditated axe murder of Armenian lieutenant Gurgen Margaryan, in his sleep, during a NATO Partnership for Peace program in Budapest back in 2004.
