    Alongside the injustice shown at issuing the life sentence on Azeri
    military officer Ramil Safarov charged with killing Armenian officer
    in Hungary, the sentence itself is issued by the order of Armenian
    lobby, Trend reports with reference to Mamed Alizadeh, chairman of
    Deliberative Council and leader of Azerbaijan Democratic World Party.


    He said that R. Safarov was issued such a sentence, as Azerbaijan's
    society was not eager to protect his rights. «Armenian lobby in
    Hungary did much for issuing such a sentence on our compatriot. In
    this regard we should do our best to have the Appeal Court of Hungary
    change the penalty»,- he outlined.

    On this matter Umud party has disseminated a statement saying
    Hungarian court has shown its injustice on the case of Azeri officer.
    «The last words said by R.Safarov show that he had killed Ramenian
    officer not in revenge, he was provoked to commit the crime. This
    fact should have promoted the penalty softening. However, 5eh court
    didn't mind his words».

    Umud party officials also suggest the influence of Armenian lobby on
    the judge.

    Azerbaijan Way movement also regarded the verdict issued by Judge
    Andrash Vashkuti as biased. The movement officials said fair judge
    should have thoroughly analyzed the case, but the judge did not take
    R.Safarov's feelings into consideration.

    Vurgun Eyyub, first deputy chairman, Mussavat, says it had been very
    unfortunate to present him a national hero as such position had a bad
    influence on the judge. Mr Eyyub opines that official Baku should
    persuade Hungarian Appeal Court to change the penalty.

    Vahdat, Islamic, Social-Democratic, Great Creation, Civil unity and
    Ana Vatan parties also protested R.Safarov's unfair sentence.
