YEREVAN. – Head of the European Movement in Armenia Victor Yengibaryan wrote a letter to the Chairman of the European Movement International Jo Leinen and other officials of the organization in connection with Azerbaijani murderer’s extradition and granting him a pardon and hence rejects to participate in the European Movement’s meeting in Baku.

“We learn with great disappointment that Hungarian authorities had extradited Ramil Safarov. As was supposed, the Azerbaijani president had immediately granted a pardon to the murderer, while the Azerbaijani people made him a hero. Hungary, being a member of the NATO and the EU, by releasing Safarov, betrayed all the European values, discredited European authority and replaced justice with caviar.

The European Movement in Armenia rejects to send delegates for the upcoming meeting of the organization, which is scheduled for November in Baku, Azerbaijan,” the statement reads.
