NagornoKarabakh presidential spokesman DavidBabayan told ArmeniaNow that some diplomats have said that the Azeris must be returned according to the Astrakhan Agreement, however those provisions, Babayan said, refer to military servicemen and war hostages, but not to civilianswho have committed such crimes.
Babayansaid the accused were granted a transparent trial attended by media, human rights activists, and different politicalrepresentatives. He said the men themselves had accepted their verdicts and ask for a pardon.
“How would Nulandrespond to a suggestion of returning DzokharTsarnayev, who committed the terror act in Boston, as a humanitarian gesture, to, for instance, the Taliban, or to some other organization. Naturally enough, this question cannot enter the humanitarian dimension, because we, of course, also made a humanitarian gesture, and organized an open, transparent and democratic trial, not a revenge,” Babayan told ArmeniaNow.
