On November 17 Pest court headed by judge Tot Tyondyosh will hold court hearings on prison officers' claim against Ramil Safarov, Azerbaijani army officer, who was sentenced to life in prison for murdering Armenian lieutenant Gurgen Markarian in Hungary.
Azerbaijani Embassy told the APA the officers of the Embassy will participate in the court. He will be sentenced after the witnesses' testimony. Hungarian lawyer Clara Fisher will defend his rights on the case. It should be noted that, while being kept in Hungarian prison in 2004, jailers wanted telephone card from Safarov. But Safarov could not understand Hungarian which led an incident between them. Eight police officers tied his hands and used force. Though lawyers for the Azerbaijani lieutenant appealed to court related to this matter, the court dismissed the appeal saying there was no evidence. Then the opposite side claimed that Safarov resisted officials.
