Hungary should be reconsidered

[ 15 Apr. 2006 15:19 ]

Today Garabagh Liberation Organization chief Akif Naghi held a press
conference on life sentence to Azerbaijani Army senior lieutenant
Ramil Safarov accused of murder of Armenian officer and mass actions
protesting this fact in the country (APA).

Mr. Naghi said that Ramil Safarov is an officer; review of his case
in a civilian court is violation of law. Saying they don’t entrust
the destiny of Azerbaijani officer to Hungarian court and prisons,
Mr. Naghi insisted that it is necessary to reconsider his case and to
take all measures for extradition of him to Azerbaijan. He made
concrete proposals.
He stated Azerbaijani government should return Ramil Safarov to the
country and organize his extraction urgently. He stressed that
Ramil’s life is in danger in Hungary every day. Saying there is no
need to file an appeal to any other Hungarian Courts, he stated that
this case has to be reconsidered in military court within NATO or in
any other European country. He said that actions should be continued
in Azerbaijan and abroad demanding release of Azerbaijan officer, law
enforcement bodies should refrain from interfere in protests and
political, diplomatic and economic relations with Hungary should be
reconsidered. Akif Naghi said that it is necessary to declare
official and unofficial Hungarians and all Hungarians as unacceptable
person. He said protest actions are planned to be held in Baku and
other regions of Azerbaijan on April 17. Georgian citizen Tatiana
Chaladze attending the press conference said that all the signatures
gathered by GLO on release of Ramil Safarov have been sent to the
Hungarian Court, they wanted to politicize this matter but lawyer
Adil Ismayilov prevented them.
`He told us that there is no need for this. The lawyer thinks this
matter should be approached as legal one, and he prevented expansion
of campaign’. /APA/
