Ramil Safarov case undermines the negotiation process between Armenia and Azerbaijan and poses a threat to regional stability, Armenian Foreign Minister said.

As Edward Nalbandian noted during 67th session of the United Nations General Assembly, the Azerbaijani criminal murdered an Armenian officer in sleep out of the latter’s nationality.

“Azerbaijani leadership gave Safarov a hero’s welcome. Moreover, it set him a role model for the young,” Minister Nalbandian said.

“Safarov’s case is detrimental to Nagorno Karabakh process,” he said, expressing deep concerns over the escalating tensions in Syria.

In this context, Minister Nalbandian stressed the impossibility of reaching a lasting agreement without termination of hostilities and large-scale political dialogue.
