Ruling party: Pardon of Ramil Safarov is example of Azerbaijani President’s concern for patriots

Azerbaijan, Baku, Aug. 31 / Trend E.Mehdiyev /

Pardon of Azerbaijani officer Ramil Safarov by President Ilham Aliyev is a very joyous occasion, Deputy Executive Secretary of the New Azerbaijan Party (NAP), MP Mubariz Gurbanli told the NAP official website on Friday.

Extradition of Safarov from Hungary to Azerbaijan and his pardon are logical expression of the policy pursued by the President of Azerbaijan to release patriot officer, Gurbanli said.

Release of Safarov is a logical extension of attention to our patriots and people with national spirit, Gurbanli said. He noted that Azerbaijan has always defended its brave sons, stood behind them and surrounded them by its care and attention.

"The act committed by Safarov at that time, was forced. Insult by the Armenian to our people, wounding our national feelings forced him to take this step. I would note that Safarov has always been in the focus of our state, our embassy in Hungary had been working to free him. Earlier during our visit to Hungary, together with academician Isa Habibeyli we visited him in prison. Then I noticed that the morale of Safarov and his faith in the future are high. He believed that the President and the Azerbaijani state will take the necessary measures towards his extradition. Safarov's moral superiority was evident when he was in prison. He did not lose heart, and was even engaged in certain activities. He translated The Paul Street Boys book from Hungarian into Azerbaijani. This book was presented in Baku," he added .

Gurbanli stressed once again that this event is the result of far-sighted, purposeful and humane policy of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, and an example of the concern and care for the patriots. In this regard Gurbanli congratulated the family of Safarov.
