BAKU DISSATISFIED WITH COURSE OF INVESTIGATION OF MURDER OF ARMENIAN OFFICER BY AZERI SERVICEMAN IN BUDAPESTMay 20, 2004 - 22:56 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The investigation of the case of Azeri serviceman Ramil Safarov killing an Armenian officer in Budapest was not held strictly in compliance with the law. Azeri officer's lawyer Adil Ismaylov, who had returned from the Hungarian capital the other day, told it to journalists in the Azeri capital, 525 Baku newspaper reported. His dissatisfaction was first of all due to the prisoner at bar not being provided with an Azerbaijani interpreter, so as he had to testify in Russian. Besides, in the lawyer's opinion, the Hungarian TV channels make tendentious reports that Safarov allegedly confessed he had arrived in Hungary with the sole purpose of killing Armenians. Now, the Hungarian media suppose, he denies his deposition, trying to delay the investigation. All this, the lawyer considers, was invented and spread by the investigation to justify their faults. In his words, Ramil Safarov is indicted on 4 items of article 166 of the Criminal Code of Hungary. The first provides for responsibility for prior planning of the murder, the second - for a murder having mean motives, third - for especial cruelty, and the fourth - for murderous assault on several people. The investigation is expected to finish today or tomorrow. As of the beginning of the trial, in A. Ismaylov's words, it will not begin before September and may last some two months.
