Yerevan/Mediamax/. Armenian Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepyan said today that Ramil Safarov was not pardoned but was acquitted in Azerbaijan.
Aghvan Hovsepyan noted that “in fact, this was not a pardon but acquittal, since only in case of acquittal the convicted person receives the salary for years he has spent in prison, a house and becomes a hero.”
According to Prosecutor General, the President of a country has not right to grant pardon to a person who was sentenced by another country’s court.
“The President of Azerbaijan has made a rough mistake violating the law of his own country,” said Aghvan Hovsepyan, adding that only the court, not the President, is allowed to acquit a person.
“It’s a pity that there is a nation on this planet whose citizen is glorified for axing a sleeping man,” said Aghvan Hovsepyan.
