Хефферн: Вашингтон ожидает от Баку и Будапешта объяснений в связи с экстрадицией и помилованием азербайджанского убийцы

Вашингтон ожидает объяснений от Баку по факту экстрадиции и помилования убийцы армянского офицера Гургена Маркаряна Рамиля Сафарова. Об этом заявил посол США в Армении Джон Хефферн во время церемонии подписания соглашения по продолжению сотрудничества с Генеральной прокуратурой Армении.

При этом посол напомнил, что Вашингтон сразу выразил свою озабоченность по этому поводу. <Хочу вновь подчеркнуть, что США, как сопредседательствующая в Минской группе ОБСЕ страна, выступает против любых действий, которые могут пошатнуть хрупкий мир в регионе. Мы ожидаем объяснений от Будапешта и Баку и будем последовательными в направлении их получения> - заявил посол.

Отметим, что ранее Вашингтон выразил свою глубокую озабоченность в связи с экстрадицией из Венгрии и помилованием в Азербайджане убийцы армянского офицера Гургена Маркаряна Рамиля Сафарова, который венгерским судом был приговорен к пожизненному заключению.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin as an “old friend” as the two began a series of meetings Tuesday at a time when their countries face both overlapping and differing challenges from the United States.

According to AP, Putin addressed Xi as “dear friend” and said that Moscow’s ties with Beijing are “at an unprecedentedly high level.” Following their formal talks, they planned to have another meeting over tea with some of their top aides. The talks come the day after both attended a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in the nearby Chinese city of Tianjin, and the day before a grand Chinese military parade in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
