Armenia and the Armenian diaspora continue to stir uproar and turn international public opinion against Azerbaijan over last week's extradition to his home country and pardoning of Ramil Safarov, an Azerbaijani military officer who had been serving a life sentence in Hungary for killing an Armenian officer in Budapest in 2004.

Armenian terrorist organizations, inspired by the provocative and aggressive position of the Armenian government, threaten diplomatic missions and citizens of Azerbaijan abroad.

The Armenian terror groups, which have taken root for many years in the West and some Eastern countries, become active from time to time and carry out attacks leading to many casualties. These organizations' deeds have resulted in numerous terror acts committed in 1970-80s around the world against Turkish diplomats and later against Azerbaijani citizens.

A document sent by the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA), a terror group that has been largely inactive for the past decades, received on Monday by the embassy of Azerbaijan in Hungary, indicates as a target Azerbaijani diplomats, Azerbaijani students studying abroad, businessmen, activists of diaspora organizations, and claims they will be killed.

The world community, which is arduously fighting international terrorism in the 21st century, must take the threat of Armenian terror more seriously and prevent a replay of numerous human tragedies, which occurred in the past.

Azerbaijan's state news agency AzerTAc presents the text of the letter sent to the embassy of Azerbaijan in Hungary and some other countries by ASALA.

"Azeri and Turkish murderers,
You think that you emerged victorious over Armenians by releasing a criminal named Ramil Safarov. But you are wrong!

The Armenian people have suffered many hardships at every point of history. Notwithstanding, they have always managed to survive. Armenia has been surrounded by Turkey to the West and Azerbaijan and its allies - Zionists - to the East.

Your political, economic, military pressure on Armenia has always been a fiasco. Thanks to resistance, honor and eagerness we have always derailed - even despite our small number -your pan-Turkish efforts to wipe the Armenian people off the face of the earth.

We still remember the genocide, which was committed by Turkish murderers late previous century - it is in Turks` nature - killing 600,000 Armenians. Today we are completely avenging this genocide by supporting and giving directives on PKK`s military operations.
We increase the number of Turkish corpses every day to bring it not to 40,000 but 600,000 dead Turks.
Your bloody and barbarian disrespect, hatred and aggression against neighboring peoples will get back to you with the tripled hatred and revenge.
We will drown you in the blood of innocent people you have shed.
While corpses of Azerbaijanis killed by us in Khojaly are rotting, we increase the number of corpses of Azerbaijani soldiers on the Karabakh border.
Attention, this is our message to you
Employees of Azerbaijani diplomatic missions will soon be assassinated by the method we have never used before.

Rashad Safarov - your punishment is death!
Eldar Aliyev - your punishment is death!
Anar Imanov - you punishment is death!
Lala Safarova - you punishment is death!
Huseyn Jafarov - you punishment is death!
Vugar Aliyev - you punishment is death!
Gulnara Mammadova - you punishment is death! "

ASALA is known for terrorist attacks against Turkish targets in Turkey and a number of countries throughout the 1970s and 1980s. The leftist group is responsible for the deaths of more than 40 Turkish diplomats abroad and has been mostly inactive since 1985.
