National Assembly adopted toothless document
Political scientist Manvel Sargsyan says by adopting a statement on the extradition and glorification of Azerbaijani murderer Ramil Safarov the Armenian National Assembly shirked responsibility.
"This is really very dangerous. Our lawmakers neglected security issues and gave birth to a toothless document. It seems that the document was adopted in Turkmenistan or somewhere else," said Mr. Sargsyan.
The Director of the Armenian Center for Strategic and National Studies says he was not surprised at Azerbaijan's decision to pardon Safarov.
"Azerbaijan has been doing the same thing for 20 years. It is attempting to impose its position on the world and make the impression that they will never speak to Armenians about serious matters."
Political scientist Alexander Markarov does not believe that Hungary was taken unawares by Azerbaijan's decision to release Safarov.
"The Hungarian side is not that naïve," he stressed.
Manvel Sargsyan thinks that NATO and other international structures will use Azerbaijan's mistake to their advantage. "They will pressurize Azerbaijan and force the country to get involved in certain programs."
