Глава Европарламента встревожен политически мотивированным помилованием убийцы в Азербайджане

Страсбургская Конвенция по экстрадиции заключенных не должна злоупотреблятся в политических целях. Об этом говорится в заявлении президента Европарламента Мартина Шульца по случаю экстрадиции из Венгрии в Азербайджан и дальнейшем помиловании азербайджанского военного Рамиля Сафарова, зарубившего топором армянского офицера Гургена Маркаряна.

<Я встревожен политически мотивированным помилованием Сафарова со стороны президента Азербайджана Ильхама Алиева.  Вместе с тем, я призываю Армению и Азербайджан воздержаться от всяких шагов или заявлений, которые могут еще больше обострить ситуацию в регионе>,_ говорится в заявлении.

Отметим, что в связи с экстрадицией из Венгрии в Азербайджан военнослужащего Рамиля Сафарова, зарубившего спящего армянского офицера топором в Будапеште в 2004 году, и его дальнейшим помилованием президентом Азербайджана Ильхамом Алиевым, Армения прекратила дипломатические отношения с Венгрией.

EU to push for sanctions on Israel ministers and suspend bilateral support

The President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen stated she would push to sanction "extremist" Israeli ministers and curb trade ties over Gaza, as she warned famine should not be used as a "weapon of war". Addressing the European Parliament on 10 September in the annual State of the Union, von der Leyen lamented that divisions among member states were holding back a European response but insisted the European Commission "will do all that it can on its own". "What is happening in Gaza has shaken the conscience of the world. People killed while begging for food. Mothers holding lifeless babies. These images are simply catastrophic," von der Leyen said. The German politician said the Commission would put its bilateral support to Israel on hold, stopping all payments, but without affecting work with civil society groups and Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial.
