The Ministry of Justice of Azerbaijan has applied to the Ministry of
Justice of Hungary for allowing Ramil Safarov, the murderer of the
Armenian Officer Gurgen Margaryan, to carry the punishment in
motherland, APA agency reports. Let us remind that the Hungarian
Court sentenced Ramil Safarov to life imprisonment.
According to Zaver Gafarov, Chairman of the International Cooperation
Agency of the Ministry of Justice, in 1983 both countries joined the
European convention on `Handing over the prisoners for carrying
punishment.’
According to Gafarov, the court hearing in the Court of Cassation on
the appeal against the verdict on Ramil Safarov is scheduled in
April. He informed also that the negotiations will continue with the
Hungarian Ministry of Justice after the verdict legally comes into
force and measures will be undertaken for transferring Ramil Safarov
to Azerbaijan.
