/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azeri serviceman Ramil Safarov
sentenced to life imprisonment in Hungary for
murdering Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan will not
protest decision of the Budapest Court of Appeals,
said judge Ikram Shirinov.

`Safarov thinks the measure is hopeless. It’s his
personal opinion but there is no final decision yet.
Anyway, the Hungarian legislation doesn’t suppose time
limitation,’ he said.

Shirinov informed that Hungarian lawyer Clara Fischer
will defend Safarov on January 29 court session over
the incident between Safarov and prison guards.

The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said it attends to
legal assistance to Ramil Safarov, APA reports.

On April 13, 2006 Ramil Safarov was given a life
sentence for murdering Gurgen Margaryan. On February
22, 2007 the Budapest Court of Appeals upheld the
verdict.
