    Next court hearing on Azerbaijani army officer Ramil Safarov held in
    Hungary

    [ 01 Sen. 2006 20:46 ]

    Today, Hungarian court held court hearings on jailers' claim against
    Ramil Safarov, Azerbaijani army officer, who was sentenced to life in
    prison for murdering Armenian lieutenant Gurgen Markarian in Hungary.
    Azerbaijani Embassy in Hungary told the APA .

    Five witnesses-three jailors, one prison doctor and Hungarian
    prisoner testified. Two jailers, parties of the incident put their
    versions. Another jailor, who witnessed the incident positively
    characterized Azerbaijani officer. He said Ramil always obeyed
    discipline.
    The Hungarian prisoner said the incident was due to Ramil's poor
    knowledge of Hungarian, which confirms our officer's testimony.
    The court hearing will continue with witnesses' testimonies on 5
    September.
    Azerbaijani Embassy officers also attended the trial.
    While being held in Hungarian prison in 2004, jailers wanted
    telephone card from Ramil. But Ramil could not understand Hungarian
    which led an incident between them. Eight police officers tied his
    hands and used force. Though lawyers for the Azerbaijani lieutenant
    appealed to court related to this matter, the court dismissed the
    appeal saying there was no evidence. Then the opposite side claimed
    that Ramil resisted officials.
    Clara Fisher, new Hungarian lawyer for Ramil defends him on this
    case./APA/
