Azeri officer on trial in Hungary may be handed over to Azerbaijan
The Hungarian parliament Ombudsman Barnabas Lenkovich, addressing the
third international conference of Ombudsmen, which started in Baku on
Monday, said workers of the entity he leads often visit the
Azerbaijani officer Ramil Safarov in detention.
Safarov is on trial in Hungary for killing an Armenian serviceman.
`There are no problems with the trial of Ramil Safarov. He will make
the statements he made in English before in Azerbaijani language
again. A translator has been therefore provided', Lenkovich said.
He said that Safarov is satisfied with his treatment in detention and
is awaiting the court sentence. The Ombudsman said that Safarov's
extradition to Azerbaijan is possible after the court issues a
ruling, but stressed the importance of signing a relevant treaty by
the two countries.
`The Hungarian legislation allows for such an agreement', he said.
Lenkovich plans to meet with Safarov's parents as well.*
