The Garabagh Liberation Organization (GLO) today issued a statement
with regard to the trial of Azerbaijani Army officer Ramil Safarov,
who is indicted for murder of Armenian officer Gurgen Margarian,
in Budapest, Hungary.

The GLO informed APA that it condemned pan-Armenian approach of
Prosecutor Kish Veronika and Judge Andrash Vaskutin by asking severe
sentence for the Azerbaijani officer. In the statement, the GLO
also denounced Budapest city court being in favor of the interests
of Armenians.

“The Budapest city court intends to administer a cruel punishment
on Ramil Safarov by the judge Andrash Vaskutin. This case arouses
serious doubts that Armenia has bribed the court. The Budapest city
court and the judge Vaskutin should renounce their biased approach
and pass a fair verdict,” the GLO stressed in the statement.

The Garabagh Liberation Organization also said that injustice approach
by the Hungarian authorities and court towards Ramil Safarov will be
given a response.
