PanARMENIAN.Net - Azeri serviceman Ramil Safarov, the murderer of Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan, has no chance to return to Azerbaijan, Margaryans' family lawyer Nazeli Vardanyan told a news conference today. "Presently, Safarov's extradition is out of the question," she said.



She said Safarov's lawyers purposefully wanted to extenuate the court decision to wring out a chance to convey him to the Azeri side. "However, the Hungarian history hasn't recorded cases when a person sentenced to life imprisonment was conveyed to another state," she said, reports www.newsarmenia.ru



February 19 RA armed forces officer Gurgen Margaryan was brutally hacked to death by Azeri serviceman Ramil Safarov. Both were taking an English course in the framework of Partnership for Peace NATO program in Budapest. The Hungarian court sentenced Safarov to life imprisonment without right to pardon during initial 30 years. February 22, 2007 the Court of Appeal sustained the verdict.
