HUNGARIAN CONSTITUTIONAL COURT PRESIDENT APOLOGIZES TO ARMENIAN PEOPLE FOR CONSEQUENCES OF SAFAROV'S EXTRADITION
17:54 03/07/2013 " TOPIC OF THE DAY
The Hungarian court's decision sentencing Azerbaijani officer Ramil
Safarov to life imprisonment was not strict enough, Peter Paczolay,
President of the Hungarian Constitutional Court, told reporters at
the Armenian National Assembly.
The Hungarian official is in Armenia to attend the pan-European
Conference on "The European Legal Standards of Rule of Law and the
Scope of Discretion of Powers in the Member-States of the Council
of Europe."
Mr Paczolay said that Hungary extradited Safarov to Azerbaijan so that
he would serve his imprisonment in that country, not be pardoned and
released. The Hungarian official added that he cannot say anything
on behalf of his country's government since he is not familiar with
the conditions of the extradition, and apologized to the Armenian
people for the consequences of Hungary's extradition of the convicted
Azerbaijani axe-murderer.
