    Hungarian government reacts to Azerbaijani officer's release

    Azerbaijan, Baku, Sep. 3 /Trend/


    Hungary's government condemned Azerbaijan on Sunday over the release
    of a military officer who was earlier extradited to his home country
    by Hungarian authorities, Dow Jones reported.

    Azerbaijani officer Ramil Safarov, who was convicted in Hungary,
    returned on Friday to Azerbaijan. The same day, under the order of the
    head of state, he was pardoned.

    Ramil Safarov was born on August 25, 1977 in Jabrail region of
    Azerbaijan. Safarov, 34, who participated in NATO exercises in 2004 in
    Hungary, was charged with the murder of the Armenian officer Gurgen
    Margaryan, who insulted the Azerbaijani flag. By the verdict of the
    Budapest court, Safarov was sentenced to life imprisonment without the
    right of pardon during 30 years.

    Earlier, the Head of the Department on Work with Law-Enforcement
    Agencies of the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration Fuad Alasgarov
    told local media that Safarov was pardoned in line with the
    Constitution and laws of Azerbaijan, and the European Convention on
    the Transfer of Sentenced Persons." The Convention provides that each
    Party may grant pardon, amnesty or commutation of the sentence in
    accordance with its Constitution or other laws," Alasgarov said.
