  • Budapest: Azerbaijani Extradition - Foreign Ministry Says Azerbaijan

    AZERBAIJANI EXTRADITION - FOREIGN MINISTRY SAYS AZERBAIJAN'S ACTION UNACCEPTABLE

    Ministry of Foreign Affair
    Sept 3 2012
    Hungary

    Hungary's Foreign Ministry told the ambassador of Azerbaijan in
    Budapest on Sunday that the actions that followed the transferral home
    of life-sentenced Azerbaijani Ramil Sahib Safarov are unacceptable to
    Hungary, the foreign affairs state secretary at the prime minister's
    office told Hunagrian News Agency MTI.

    Peter Szijjarto reiterated that Hungary had acted in compliance with
    the European Council's convention on the transfer of sentenced persons.

    The legal representative of Safarov, convicted for murdering Armenian
    fellow-soldier Gurgen Margaryan with an axe in 2004, has requested
    from Hungary's justice ministry that he should be allowed to serve
    the remaining part of his prison sentence in his home country,
    Szijjarto said. After the Hungarian Justice Ministry had contacted
    the Azerbaijani authorities, they informed the ministry that the crime
    that Safarov was convicted for would also qualify as a criminal act in
    Azerbaijan and the punishment could be a life sentence. The authorities
    also informed the ministry that Safarov would continue to serve his
    sentence in Azerbaijan if he is transferred home, Szijjarto said.

    Since Azerbaijan has failed to act in line with the official document
    sent to Hungary, the Hungarian Foreign Ministry told the ambassador
    of Azerbaijan that this course of action had been unacceptable for
    Hungary.

    On returning to Azerbaijan on Friday, Safarov requested and got a
    pardon from his country's president. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan
    said in Yerevan later in the day that Armenia had decided to break
    diplomatic ties with Hungary.
