U.S. Congressmen are furious with Azerbaijani President

Members of Congress started to express their concerns about the decisions of Hungary and Azerbaijan, to free Safarov, in particular, as we learn from armenianweekly.com, Frank Pallone (New Jersey), Co-Chairman of the US Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues announced.
“I am outraged by the reckless actions taken by the Government of Azerbaijan in freeing Ramil Safarov, an Azerbaijani soldier who brutally murdered an unarmed Armenian soldier during a NATO-sponsored training program in Hungary. It is extremely egregious that the President of Azerbaijan issued a decree granting pardon to a convicted murderer and has allowed him to walk free despite his conviction. These are not the actions of a Government that is dedicated to justice and peace. Unfortunately, the actions taken by Azerbaijan only further confirm their desire to facilitate and condone violence against Armenia and its people.”
Senior member of the Foreign Relations Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, Brad Sherman (CA) said: "I am deeply dismayed by the Hungarian Government’s decision to release an Azeri military officer who was sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering an Armenian officer in cold blood in Budapest in 2004. . . I stand by our friend and ally Armenia in her ongoing quest for peace and security for her citizens. I call on the Azeri Government to bring this individual to justice instead of freeing a convicted criminal.”
