Lawyer Adil Ismayilov, legal representative of Azerbaijani Army
officer Ramil Safarov was substituted. Ramil Safarov was sentenced
to life in jail for murdering Armenian Army officer Gurgen Markaryan.
Parliamentarian Zahid Oruj, member of the Coordination Board to Defend
Ramil Safarov’s rights told the APA. The Coordination Board was not
satisfied with his activity. He said the Board came to agreement with
other lawyer to represent Safarov’s family.
"This lawyer is very professional and patriotic. We will not name
him as it might harm the process," he said.
The Bar said they will sign a contract with the new lawyer soon.
Ikram Shirinov will defend Ramil Safarov in the Court of Appeal, APA
reports. But the lawyer said he has not received an official appeal
for defending Safarov in the Court of Appeal. He was only asked to
analyze Hungarian legislation and to give an expert opinion.
"There is not any official agreement. I am getting acquainted with
Hungarian laws. It is early to give any opinion," Shirinov said.
