Murderer of Armenian Officer Will Not Be Extradited to Azerbaijan
There are no intergovernmental agreements between Hungary and Azerbaijan providing for extradition, Hayk Demoyan, an Armenian Defense Ministry representative on the Budapest trial on the case of murder of an Armenian officer, stated when answering a question of a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his words, the Armenian party checked intergovernmental agreements between Hungary and Azerbaijan via all diplomatic channels and did not find any agreements of the kind. «When Ramil Safarov's lawyer Adil Ismaylov mentions extradition, he merely misleads the Azeri society,» Demoyan remarked. He also emphasized that no matter how much effort the Azeri party makes to present Safarov as «a hero», the murder of the Armenian officer with aggravation caused irremediable moral damage to Azerbaijan.
