Armenia will be responsible for provocations against Azeri diplomats - diplomat
BAKU. Sept 5 (Interfax) - Yerevan will be entirely responsible for any possible provocation against Azeri diplomats and citizens outside their country, Azerbaijan Foreign Ministry spokesman Elman Abdullayev told reporters on Wednesday.
Azerbaijan has asked all the countries where it has a diplomatic mission to step up security at its embassies, the official recalled.
Armenian terrorist organizations were threatening Azeri diplomatic missions and citizens in foreign countries, Azeri state media outlets said earlier.
According to a document received by the Azerbaijan Embassy in Hungary from an Armenian terrorist organization, ASALA Fighters, on September 3, the organization is targeting Azeri diplomats, Azeri students studying abroad, business people and diaspora activists, and claims they will be killed.
The latest spat in the relations between Baku and Yerevan was caused by the extradition by Hungarian authorities to Azerbaijan of officer Ramil Safarov sentenced by a court in Budapest to life in prison for killing Armenian officer Gurgen Markarian.
On August 31, 2012, Safarov was extradited by Hungary to Azerbaijan and pardoned by his country's President Ilham Aliyev on the same day.
