США призывают Азербайджан выполнить обещание, данное Венгрии при экстрадиции убийцы Рамиля Сафарова

США призывают Азербайджан выполнить обещание, данное правительству Венгрии при экстрадиции убийцы армянского офицера Гургена Маркаряна Рамиля Сафарова. Об этом на еженедельном брифинге в Вашингтоне заявила пресс-секретарь Государственного департамента США Виктория Нуланд.

Она сообщила, что Вашингтон уже связался с руководством Азербайджана и озвучил призыв о выполнении Баку данного Будапешту  обещания. При этом Нуланд подчеркнула, что в связи с этим вопросом у Вашингтона есть некоторая обеспокоенность, которая изначально была озвучена Госдепом.

Отметим, что при экстрадиции Рамиля Сафарова руководство Азербайджана в письменной форме заверило Будапешт о том, что при возвращении на родину убийца продолжит отбывать наказание. Однако приговоренный венгерским судом к пожизненному заключению Сафаров, по возвращению на родину был помилован указом президента Азербайджана Ильхама Алиева и повышен в воинском звании.

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.
