Latest trial in Budapest did not leave any chances to the Azeri party, stated Hayk Demoyan, Armenian Defense Ministry's representative on the case of murder of an Armenian officer. In his words, the murder is qualified as a purely criminal one in Hungary, without any political implication. «Within past two years the Azeri party constantly tried to politicize the case, trying to document that the Nagorno Karabakh conflict had allegedly served as the cause of the murder. Safarov's lawyer Adil Ismaylov tried to pass some documents to the judge, which were officially returned to him with an accompanying letter that expressed refusal to consider the package during the trial,» Demoyan said.

In his words, Turkey is very interested in soonest possible completion of the trial, as Safarov was trained in military camps of Northern Cyprus and Turkey will be exposed to risk if it is known. Meanwhile, Demoyan remarked that Armenian media and individual politicians paid to much attention to Safarov and made a number of irresponsible statements, which hampered Hungary. «For two years we passed the control at the Budapest airport without difficulty, while this time we were searched for arms this time. This is due to a word carelessly thrown,» the Armenian MOD representative said.
