Prosperous Armenia parliamentary group member Naira Zohrabyan is confident that after a presidential pardon Armenian officer’s killer Ramil Safarov will be officially ranked as national hero of Azerbaijan.

“Azerbaijan spared no effort for Safarov’s extradition and it was quite clear that he would be set free upon arrival. I don’t doubt that the killer will soon get the rank of a national hero,” Zohrabyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

She reminded of the statement by Azerbaijan’s human rights defender Elmira Suleymanova, who said that “Safarov should be an example for patriotic youth.”

“The problem is not in Azerbaijan, where one who kills as Armenian is treated like a hero. The problem is that the Council of Europe accepted a country for which murder is a feat,” the MP said.
