Safarov was sentenced to life-term in prison for murdering Armenian lieutenant Gurgen Markaryan in Hungary. The lawyers have signed a contract with Safarov's family and Defense Ministry.

Shirinov told the APA that they had learned Hungary criminal law and prepared the necessary documents for defense and sent them to the Budapest Court.

He also said he will visit Budapest soon and will meet with Safarov's Hungarian lawyer. The presidium of the Bar will cooperate with Hungarian lawyers for defending Safarov effectively.

By the decision, additional lawyer can be involved in the defense process.

Lawyer Adil Ismayilov defended Safarov's rights before.
