/PanARMENIAN.Net/ “The Budapest city court is influenced by Armenian
lobby and therefore will not pass a fair verdict regarding the
Azerbaijani officer,” Head of the Committee to Protect Ramil Safarov’s
Rights Akif Naghi said in Baku. In his words, the Committee demands
that the trial scheduled April 13 be postponed and the court staff
be replaced.

The Committee also believes that Azerbaijan’s parliamentary group
for relations with the Hungarian Parliament should leave for Budapest
as soon as possible. In addition, the Azerbaijani parliament should
hold a debate on Safarov’s case at Hungarian Parliament, a large
media group should be sent to Budapest, and his extradition should
be achieved irrespective of the verdict on him, APA reports.
