BAKU, APRIL 25, ARMENPRESS: Azerbaijani justice ministry said last week it will negotiate with Hungarian authorities to have Ramil Safarov, an Azerbaijani officer, who had hacked to death his Armenian counterpart Gurgen Margarian on February 19, 2004, sent to Azerbaijan to serve his prison term after the Hungarian court issues its verdict.
Both were participants of an English language training course within the framework of the NATO-sponsored “Partnership for Peace” program held in Budapest, Hungary. The murder occurred at 5 o’clock in the morning, while the victim was asleep.
The trial of Safarov is set to resume on May 10.
Zaver Gafarov, head of an Azerbaijani justice ministry department, said the ministry will base its petition on the European Convention on Extradition of Convicts, which Baku had joined several years ago.
