A murderer who kills a sleeping man would hardly be called a hero in any country where military honor and courage is respected, Analitika.at.ua Information-Analytical Center Director Marat Hakobyan told Fraza journal.   

In the analyst’s words, justifying of the murderer who killed a sleeping man is but one link in the overall chain of crimes committed against the Armenians 

“The Azerbaijani authorities state-level Armenian-hatred has become unmanageable, and not only Armenians suffer from this. It’s funny when the Azerbaijani society’s severe psychological disorders are called a “magical attack” by Armenia. So much hatred is accumulated [in Azerbaijan toward the Armenians] that the consequences of such policy have begun to be manifested even within Azerbaijan.

The analysts have remarked, on numerous occasions, that the Azerbaijani state is built on oil and the sticky idea of ‘returning the lost territories.’ [But] In reality, this is a rich country of poor people; this is an authoritarian country. Azerbaijan—whose authorities brag about their richness in energy reserves—cannot surmount its population’s poverty and the growing emigration,” Marat Hakobyan noted in particular.    

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.

As expected, Ramil Safarov’s return to Baku was welcomed, as was his act of murder, by the officials of president Ilham Aliyev’s government and much of Azerbaijani society, and the Azerbaijani president immediately granted him a pardon.

And Armenia’s President Serzh Sargsyan announced on August 31 that Armenia is suspending its diplomatic ties with Hungary.    

Ramil Safarov’s pardoning is condemned by virtually all international organizations.
