/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijan's Justice Ministry has
appealed to Hungarian Justice Ministry for extradition
of Azerbaijani Army Officer Ramil Safarov who was
sentenced to life in jail. In the words of Azeri
Ministry Officer Zavar Gafarov, Azerbaijan and Hungary
both joined the European Convention on Extradition. `I
also met Ramil Safarov during my visit to Hungary. He
gave me an application for extradition to Azerbaijan.
As per the Convention, the extradition can be
considered after the sentence becomes final,' he said.
It was underscored that Safarov's case is under strict
control of the Ministry. According to the Convention
the matter of extradition can be solved after the
sentence comes into effect.
He said that Safarov's appeal against the sentence
will be considered in April. Gafarov added that Ramil
Safarov can be extradited to Azerbaijan after the
sentence becomes final.
`Both countries are participants of multilateral
agreements. They are members of Conventions adopted in
1957, 1959 and 1983. That's why there is no need for
any other bilateral agreement,' he said. Gafarov also
said that Justice Ministries of the both countries
will conclude an agreement on cooperation in near
future, reports APA.
Azeri Army officer Ramil Safarov is sentenced to life
imprisonment for murder of Armenian Army officer
Gurgen Margaryan in Budapest.
