Ramil Safarov’s father: "I was sure of the result of legal procedure"
24 February 2007 [07:15] – Today.Az
Coordination Council on Defense of Azerbaijani Army officer Ramil
Safarov’s Rights held a meeting.
The member of the council Azay Guliyev said that it was expected that
Appeals Court will keep the decision of the court of first instance
on life sentence to Ramil Safarov in force.
But we hoped that the decision will be amended after submitting
definite arguments to the Appeals Court. But the court was bias
again. The court did not take into account medical examiners’
judgment, the lawyers’ solicitations were not allowed, he said.
Guliyev said that the Coordination Council will file an appeal to
Hungarian Supreme Court against the decision of Budapest Appeals
Court.
Ramil Safarov’s father Sahib Safarov said that he expected this
decision.
We always raise a clamor before making something, and Armenians take
advantage of these arguments. Hungarian journalists were brought to
Azerbaijan, but they did not meet with Ramil Safarov’s family. As
Azerbaijan does not approach the case seriously the result was
expected. Defense Ministry have not called the lawyers or concerned
itself with the problem. They only offered financial aid to the
lawyers a day before they left for Budapest, he said, APA reports.
