We offered to press for smoothing the Armenian position on the issue, prevent the storm of the Armenian Diaspora and succeed in Safarov's extradition to Azerbaijan. Unfortunately we failed. The Azerbaijani authorities, which crawfished giving ok to the ANS and "patriotic" spirits in Azerbaijan, are to blame for it first of all. I think these "patriots" should be glad to know that Safarov is sentenced to life imprisonment," he said.
