Baku, April 29, AssA-Irada -- The trial of Azerbaijani officer
Ramil Safarov, who murdered Armenian serviceman Gurgen Markarian,
will be held in Budapest, Hungary on May 10, Ombudsperson Elmira
Suleymanova said.
Representatives of the Hungarian public organizations are expected to
attend the trial. The Ombudsperson said she requested her Hungarian
counterpart to be present in the court as an observer.
Safarov's trial, originally scheduled for February, had been postponed
to examine the evidence forwarded to Hungarian lawyers. Safarov, who
comes from Jabrayil District occupied by Armenia, killed the Armenian
officer during NATO courses on February 27, 2004 for insulting the
Azerbaijani flag and people.*
