Safarov's rights defense `protests' against the decision of the
Hungarian Court of Appeal which sustained life sentence for the Azeri
serviceman, council representative, Azeri Milli Mejlis member Azay
Guliyev said. He said the Coordination Council rates the verdict as
`partial and preconceived and is going to appeal it in the Hungarian
Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights.'
`We expected such a decision,' Safarov's father told reporters. He
said Ramil called him several days ago and informed that two or three
judges of the Court of Appeal were replaced. Safarov senior blamed the
Azeri Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Office
of Prosecutor General for `inactivity in defending Ramil.' `I think
this verdict was handed against whole Azerbaijan but not my son,' he
said, reports Novosti Azerbaijan.
February 22, 2007 judge Piroski Karpati of the Hungarian Court of
Appeal sustained the April 13 verdict providing for life imprisonment
for Ramil Safarov, the murderer of Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan.
February 19, 2004 Armenian armed forces lieutenant Gurgen Margaryan,
who was taking an English language course within Partnership for Peace
NATO program, was hacked to death by Safarov. The Hungarian court
sentenced the murderer for life imprisonment without the right to
pardon during initial 30 years.
