Armenian rep: Safarov’s pardoning flagrant example of impunity
Armenia's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Karen Nazaryan delivered a speech at the 67th session of the UN General Assembly underway in New York.
In his speech concerning the elimination of all forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, Mr. Nazaryan said the wounds Artsakh received in the result of the Azeri aggression are not yet healed, and Azerbaijan continues seeding hatred for Armenians at the state level. He drew the attention of U.N member-states to official Baku's anti-Armenian rhetoric, pointing out the response of the international community. In his speech, Karen Nazaryan focused on the pardoning of Azeri axe-killer Ramil Safarov, saying it conflicts with a number of international legal and humanitarian norms and challenges the entire human rights system.
Ambassador Nazaryan stressed that the pardoning Safarov by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev is a flagrant example of impunity and continuation of the crime committed on grounds of ethnic hostility which is resulted by Azerbaijan's xenophobic and racist policy.
In conclusion, Karen Nazaryan urged the international community to raise its voice against such unpardonable behaviour, which threatens the regional stability and peace.
