/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijan’s Justice Ministry has appealed to Hungarian Justice Ministry for extradition of Azerbaijani Army Officer Ramil Safarov who was sentenced to life in jail. In the words of Azeri Ministry Officer Zavar Gafarov, Azerbaijan and Hungary both joined the European Convention on Extradition. “I also met Ramil Safarov during my visit to Hungary. He gave me an application for extradition to Azerbaijan. As per the Convention, the extradition can be considered after the sentence becomes final,” he said. It was underscored that Safarov’s case is under strict control of the Ministry. According to the Convention the matter of extradition can be solved after the sentence comes into effect.
He said that Safarov’s appeal against the sentence will be considered in April. Gafarov added that Ramil Safarov can be extradited to Azerbaijan after the sentence becomes final.
“Both countries are participants of multilateral agreements. They are members of Conventions adopted in 1957, 1959 and 1983. That’s why there is no need for any other bilateral agreement,” he said. Gafarov also said that Justice Ministries of the both countries will conclude an agreement on cooperation in near future, reports APA.
