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.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has appointed a team of legal experts to start working on a new constitution with critics saying it could allow him to remain in power beyond 2028, when his current term ends. Erdogan, who has led Türkiye as president since 2014 and was prime minister for more than a decade before that, has advocated for a new constitution arguing that the current one, which was drafted following a military coup in 1980, is outdated and retains elements of military influence even though it was amended several times.
