January 15, 2008 - 14:22 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Azeri serviceman Ramil Safarov sentenced to life imprisonment in Hungary for murdering Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan will not protest decision of the Budapest Court of Appeals, said judge Ikram Shirinov.



"Safarov thinks the measure is hopeless. It's his personal opinion but there is no final decision yet. Anyway, the Hungarian legislation doesn't suppose time limitation," he said.



Shirinov informed that Hungarian lawyer Clara Fischer will defend Safarov on January 29 court session over the incident between Safarov and prison guards.



The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said it attends to legal assistance to Ramil Safarov, APA reports.



On April 13, 2006 Ramil Safarov was given a life sentence for murdering Gurgen Margaryan. On February 22, 2007 the Budapest Court of Appeals upheld the verdict.
