Safarov's Sentence Consequence of Azerbaijan's Propaganda Hysteria
"The decision of the Budapest court is the consequence of the propaganda hysteria launched by the ANS TV channel, KLO leader Akif Naghi and other "patriots", who used the tragedy of the young Azeri officer for their own interests," editor-in-chief of "Real Azerbaijan" newspaper Eynullah Fatullayev stated.

"I think it would be more correct to abandon militaristic accents and apologize to Gurgen Margaryan's family. We offered to press for smoothing the Armenian position on the issue, prevent the storm of the Armenian Diaspora and succeed in Safarov's extradition to Azerbaijan. Unfortunately we failed. The Azerbaijani authorities, which crawfished giving ok to the ANS and "patriotic" spirits in Azerbaijan, are to blame for it first of all. I think these "patriots" should be glad to know that Safarov is sentenced to life imprisonment," he said.
