          Azeri pressure group accuses Hungarian court of bias

          Trend news agency
          9 Mar 06


          Baku, 9 March: The city court of Budapest has taken a biased stance
          towards Azerbaijani officer Ramil Safarov by not heeding lawyers'
          arguments, as well as the causes and the motivation of his deed
          [Safarov is accused of killing an Armenian officer during NATO
          courses], the Karabakh Liberation Organization (KLO) has said in a
          statement.

          The city court of Budapest accepted the findings of the fourth expert
          conclusion on Ramil Safarov which said that he was sane when
          committing the crime. The findings of two previous expert opinions
          were not taken into consideration [the second conclusion said he was
          partially sane and the third certified him as not sane]. The KLO
          believes that the decision of the city court of Budapest and the
          refusal to look into petitions filed by Safarov's defence represent an
          attempt to deliver the harshest verdict on his case at the directives
          from the Armenian government.

          "The Hungarian authorities could not resist the pressure from the
          Armenian leadership and the Armenian lobby. They did not take a fair
          position but [acted] in the interests of the political situation. The
          KLO resolutely condemns the decision of the court and demands a change
          in the position of the Hungarian authorities which was formed under
          Armenians' pressure. If the city court of Budapest delivers an unfair
          verdict, this will be a blow to relations between Azerbaijan and
          Hungary," the statement said.

            RAMIL SAFAROV WITH HERO'S STATUS

            YEREVAN, MARCH 10. ARMINFO. Marlen Haas, Secretary General of
            Socialist International Women organization, condemned the Azeri women
            who make a national hero out of Ramil Safarov, murderer of Gourgen

            As for the women's participation in the public life, she said that the
            situation in Armenia is much better than in neighbouring
            countries. She said that the situation of the women's rights in
            Armenia has been considerably improved for the last few
            years.Nevertheless, she stated that the violence over women is still
            one of the urgent problems in Armenia. Haas also expressed concern
            about the large number of unemployed women, the decrease of birth rate
            in Armenia.

            In her turn, Maria Titizian, representative of ARF "Dashnaktsiutiun"
            in Socintern, said that the membership of her party to this
            organization helps put forward urgent problems of Armenia at the
            international level. She emphasized that they discussed the issue of
            annihilated Armenian Middle Age Cross Stones in Nakhijevan at the
            latest sitting of the organization.

              Safarov's Lawyers to Place Emphasis on His «Irresponsibility» when Committing Murder

              04.04.2006 21:19 GMT+04:00
              /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Today the last court hearing on the case of Azeri serviceman Ramil Safarov, indicted for murder of Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan, will be held in Budapest. Lawyer Adil Ismaylov, who represents the interests of Safarov's family said the results of the trial will be drawn today, «Ramil should address the court with his last statement. We discussed it with him. He feels fine and has not complaints yet.» According to Ismaylov, concluding statements of the parties are expected at the process today. State prosecutor will speak first, then lawyers and the prisoner at bar will have an opportunity to make a concluding statement. Meanwhile, Azeri media report Safarov's Hungarian lawyers have seriously prepared to their statements at the trial. They will build on Safarov being «irresponsible» when committing the murder. They will ask the court to qualify his deed in compliance with a corresponding article of the Hungarian Criminal Code (committing a crime in an irresponsible state).

              As PanARMENIAN.Net agency reported earlier, Armenian MOD representative Hayk Demoyan and lawyer Nazeli Vardanyan, who represents interests of Margaryan’s family, have already left for Budapest to take part in the trial. To remind, February 19, 2004 lieutenant of the Armed Forces of Armenia Gurgen Margaryan, sent to Budapest to take English courses within the NATO Partnership for Peace Program, was brutally hacked by Azeri officer, who took the same courses. Safarov is indicted in compliance with article 116.2 of the Criminal Code of Hungary (murder, committed with special cruelty, and attempt at lives of over one person), which provides for punishment varying from imprisonment of 10-15 years to life sentence. The verdict regarding Safarov will be announced April 13.

                Life sentence for a murderer

                www.defacto.am News/News 2007-02-23

                SENTENCE ON MURDERER’S LIFE IMPRISONMENT REMAINED IN FORCE

                Hungarian Court of Appeal left in force the life imprisonment sentence of a lower instance court for Azeri officer Ramil Safarov for Armenian officer Gurgen Margarian’s murder, the Armenian party’s lawyer Nazeli Vartanian told IA REGNUM.
                In her words, at the Court of Appeal session held February 22 Safarov’s lawyers presented two applications: to carry out a new, 5th forensic medical examination and not to take into consideration Safarov’s first testimonies, as they were given in Russian, while his country’s state language is Azerbaijani. The Azeri party also petitioned the court to remit the sentence, as Safarov is another culture’s representative, so Hungarian party cannot understand his motives, because an Armenian’s assassination is not considered a criminally punishable act in Azerbaijan.
                According to Nazeli Vartanian, the Armenian party presented counter-petition to leave the lower instance court’s decision in force. The Armenian side also pointed out that in the 21st century murders were committed only because of a man’s belonging to either nation, and the Armenian journalist’s murder in Turkey testified to the fact. In his turn, Safarov again pleaded not guilty. After the break the Appeal court made a ruling, according to which the lower instance court’s decision was considered just and impartial, and left the decision on Ramil Safarov’s life imprisonment in force. Vartanian also said the Azeri party actually had no chance to appeal the Court of Appeal’s decision, though theoretically they can submit the case to Hungary’s Supreme Court, however, the criteria to take over a case are quite severe there.
                To remind, Lieutenant of RA Armed Forces Gurgen Markarian, who was sent on an official journey trip to Budapest to participate in the English language courses in the frames of “Cooperation for Peace” NATO program, was brutally hacked to death by an ax by the Azeri officer Ramil Safarov. April 13, 2006 Safarov was sentenced to life imprisonment without the right to pardon during 30 years.

                    Unfortunately, you are. I'm no longer shocked at what I see in the Azeri press. And people still wonder why Armenians distrust and hate the Turks/Azeris. This is the barbarity we have been dealing with for centuries.

                      sentenced to life imprisonment in Hungary for
                      murdering Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan will not
                      protest decision of the Budapest Court of Appeals,
                      said judge Ikram Shirinov.

                      `Safarov thinks the measure is hopeless. It's his
                      personal opinion but there is no final decision yet.
                      Anyway, the Hungarian legislation doesn't suppose time
                      limitation,' he said.

                      Shirinov informed that Hungarian lawyer Clara Fischer
                      will defend Safarov on January 29 court session over
                      the incident between Safarov and prison guards.
