Online Interview With Azerbaijanâ~@~Ys Ombudswoman

Elmira Suleymanova, Azerbaijanâ~@~Ys ombudswoman, says that Ramil
Safarov who hacked to death his Armenian colleague last year in
Budapest is a disciplined and intelligent fellow, according to his
friends.

The Caucasus Journalist Network ()
interview Elmira Suleymanova on Friday, March 4. Bakuâ~@~Ys Zerkalo
newspaper cited Suleymanova in one of its last yearâ~@~Ys issues
saying: “Ramil Safarov has to become an example for the Azeri youth”.
Answering an Armenian journalists question whether she still believes
what she said, Suleymanova answered: “If you mean murder as
expression of patriotism then you confuse me with the Karabakh
liberation organization”.

“I donâ~@~Yt have the interview text right now but I may have said
those words while getting acquainted with the criminal case, in
correspondence with my Hungarian counterpart and relations with
Safarovâ~@~Ys family and friends. His colleagues in the army think
that he is very disciplined and is a skillful specialist, a patriotic
young man”, she said adding that “psychological stress” is the reason
of his crime.

Suleymanova was trying to link her each answer with Karabakh. She
said that will not cooperate with her Armenian counterpart as far as
“Armenia does not recognize international laws and does not fulfill
UN resolutions. Justice is on our side, and we will force Armenia to
keep to the peaceful resolution no matter that terrorists from
Armenian Revolutionary Party hinder”.

Suleymanova was also asked about terrorism. One of Georgian
journalists quoted Azeri human rights protector, Arzu Abdulayev, who
said that Elmar Huseynovâ~@~Ys assassination is a terror against the
media. The Azeri ombudswoman thinks that “contrary to our neighbors
who took hold a part of our territory”, the idea of terrorism is
alien to Azeri mentality.
