Azeri Lawyer Failed to Understand Hungarian Prosecutor

“The prosecutor demanded 30-year imprisonment for Ramil Safarov accused of the murder of Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan,” Safarov’s defender Adil Ismaylov said. Meanwhile as PanARMENIAN.Net agency reported earlier, actually the Hungarian prosecutor demanded life imprisonment at that 30 years without the right of amnesty. The prosecutor said the murder was committed with extreme cruelty and is a threat for the national security of Hungary. He also underscored that when committing the crime Safarov was sane.

Adil Ismaylov said that Safarov’s lawyers submitted a petition for one more medical-forensic examination, since the results of the previous ones differ. However the judge declined the petition and said the decision will base on the examinations conducted. Lawyers representing both sides addressed the court April 4. Ismaylov also informed Safarov will make his last statement April 13.

It should be noted that Hungarian lawyer Gabriela Kaspar stated that Margaryan’s murder should be classified as genocide since it was committed through national hatred.
