Azerbaijani Embassy in Hungary Refused to Convey Signatures Collected in Safarov's Defense to Court
The Azerbaijani Embassy in Hungary refused to admit and convey the 100 thousand signatures collected in Safarov's defense to the court, Karabakh Liberation Organization (KLO) head Akif Naghi stated in Baku. In his words, "the leadership, committee on Diaspora and the Embassy have initially taken a wrong position." "The authorities were wrong to demand not to interfere or collect signatures while the committee on Azeris living abroad openly supported a position close to the position of the Armenian party," the KLO head said.

To note, the committee on protection of Ramil Safarov's rights proposed to send Azeri parliamentarians to Hungary to holds talks with the Hungarian counterparts and a group of journalists to cover the Safarov's trial, reported Day.az.
