/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijan and Hungary have no agreement on
extradition of criminals, lawyer Nazeli Vardanyan, who defends
interests of Gurgen Margaryan’s family, stated at a news conference in
Yerevan. In her words, if there had existed an agreement of the type,
Safarov would not be sent to his fatherland.
“According to Hungarian laws, extradition is not allowed in case of
life sentence. By this Azerbaijan merely disinforms the population
on the Budapest trial,” she remarked. Vardanyan also added that the
hearing on the second criminal case regarding Safarov due to his
attacking the guard will begin on May 3. N.
Vardanyan also thanked Armenian media for support and truthful
publications.
