â€œRamil Safarovâ€™s pardoning is an expression of protest by Azerbaijani people against protracted Armenian aggressionâ€

Baku. Parvin Abbasov â€“ APA. â€œThe European Parliamentâ€™s resolution adopted on Ramil Safarovâ€™s issue concerning Azerbaijan, to put it mildly, is non-objectiveâ€, said the deputy chairman, executive secretary of New Azerbaijan Party Ali Alhadov in the interview on the official website of NAP.

Ahmadov said that the pardoning of Azerbaijani officer Ramil Safarov by the decree issued by the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev was realized in accordance with relevant international conventions, as well as it absolutely meets the requirement of the state legislation: â€œThe issue didnâ€™t violate any norms of legislation, on the contrary it was realized in accordance with all legislation normsâ€.

Ahmadov considers that in order to understand the essence of Ramil Safarovâ€™s issue you need to use a complex approach: â€œThe resolution adopted by the European Parliament doesnâ€™t exactly posses this complex approach. Ramil Safarovâ€™s issues is a directly result of the Armenian aggression towards Azerbaijan, the slaughter of more than 10 thousands people. The criminals who killed Ramil Safarovâ€™s relatives didnâ€™t undergo relevant punishment, Azerbaijani lands are still under Armenian occupation and more than 1 mln people were subjected to leave their own lands and became internally displaced people. Unfortunately, the above mentioned facts must be taken into consideration while speaking on Ramil Safarovâ€™s issue. He was given hypercritical punishment. This fact could never be excused. I consider that mister president followed just these facts while signing the pardoning decree. If Budapest wouldnâ€™t give the way to injustice, there wasnâ€™t so much noise around the issue. I can say that, in fact, Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan was the victim of Nagorno Karabakh conflict like 10 thousands people. Ramil Safarov can be also considered as another victim of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, as he served 9 years of his life in imprisonment. Iâ€™d like to underline one thing that the government showed an adequate reaction to the public humor on Ramil Safarovâ€™s pardoning by the President of Azerbaijan. In fact, Ramil Safarovâ€™s pardoning and positive and emotional peoplesâ€™ reaction to this issue is the expression of protest by Azerbaijani people against protracted Armenian aggressionâ€.

Ali Ahmadovâ€™s reaction towards the European parliament resolution was: â€œUnfortunately, as the majority of European structures, as well as European Parliament continue closing eyes on such events, the reason of the tension between Azerbaijan and Armenia is that Armenia has been keeping Azerbaijani lands under the occupation for more than 20 years. I consider that the only reason of the number of tragedies that occurred recently was the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. The longer international organizations, as well as European Parliament, donâ€™t understand the essence of the problem and donâ€™t make necessary steps towards the solution of the conflict solution, such tragedies will continue. I also donâ€™t accept the unilateral and non-objective resolutions adopted by the European Parliament. Unfortunately, European Parliamentâ€™s resolution wonâ€™t influence on reduce of escalation between Azerbaijan and Armenia, but will serve for it increaseâ€.
