The Budapest court’s act toward Azerbaijani officer Ramil Safarov is
biased, as it does not take into consideration the arguments of the
lawyers, as well as motives and reasons for the crime, Trend reports
referring to the statement by the Karabakh Liberation Organization
(KLO).

It should be mentioned that the Budapest court accepted the results of
the fourth expertise of Safarov, which alleged that the defendant was
sane during the commitment of the crime. The same time the results of
the two previous expertise acts were not taken into consideration. KLO
thinks that the sentence by the Budapest court and the refusal from
consideration of applications for defense of Safarov are attempts to
pronounce the most severe punishment in regard to him at the order
of the Armenian government.

“The Hungarian authorities were not able to stand for the pressure by
the Armenian leadership and lobby. They came out from the interests
of the political situation. KLO decidedly condemns the sentence
by the court and require changing the positions of the Hungarian
authorities, formed under the Armenian pressure. If the Budapest
court makes an unfair sentence, it will have direct impact on the
Azerbaijani-Hungarian relations,” the statement by KLO stresses.
