Azerbaijan is confused with the stir raised over extradition of Ramil Safarov

The pardon of Ramil Safarov was not a signal for war but just an attempt to frighten Armenia, Kiro Manoyan, Head of ARFD Bureau's Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office, told journalists on Thursday.

According to Manoyan, Azerbaijan is not ready for war as it is well aware of the low preparedness of its army.  The allegations spread by Azerbaijan on behalf of ASALA (the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia), who is allegedly preparing terrorist acts against Azeri diplomats, have shown that Azerbaijan is confused.

Manoyan said that in the last 20 years Azerbaijan's propaganda machine has almost succeeded to gain the world community's favor on the Nagorno-Karabakh problem, but that imaginary favor vanished in a flash after Safarov's extradition, and now Azerbaijan is at a loss.

Ramil Safarov, an Azeri officer sentenced by a Hungarian court to life in jail for brutally killing an Armenian officer in Budapest in
2004, was extradited to Azerbaijan on Aug 31 and pardoned by the Azeri President once back home.
