ARMENIAN DEPUTIES BELEIVE RAMIL SAFAROV DESERVES LIFE IMPRISONMENT VERDICT

Yerevan, April 14. ArmInfo. The Armenian parliamentarians think
extradition will hardly be applied towards Ramil Safarov sentenced to
life imprisonment for murder of the Armenian officer Gourgen Margarian
in Budapest.

Gourgen Arsenian, leader of United Labour party, said that Safarov
deserved the verdict. He emphasized that extradition will hardly be
applied towards Safarov, as this issue concerns not only Azerbaijan,
but also Hungary and NATO.

While Aleksan Karapetian, member of “National Unity” party, expressed
gratitude to the Court of Hungary for fair verdict. As for extradition
of Safarov, he expressed hope that will not happen, as that would mean
Safarov is released, in fact.

Levon Mkrtchian, leader of “ARF Dashnaktsiutiun,” emphasized that the
fair verdict for Safarov is important for Armenian from both moral and
political viewpoint.

Victor Dallakian, Secretary of “Justice” faction, said that the
supreme court bodies of Hungary will not change the verdict taken by
the first instance court. At the same time, Dallakian expressed hope
that sooner or later the Armenians, Azeries and turks will leave in
peace and agreement.

While Galoust Sahakian, leader of the Republican party, said that the
verdict of the Hungarian court is even more severe than the Armenian
side expected.
