In her words, Safarov explained the crime by "losing control" of himself.

In response to it Hungarian judge András Vaskuti noted he did not know a country, whose culture admits an inhuman murder,» Vardanyan underscored. «It was a fierce inhuman crime on the national ground, planned in advance and aimed not only against Armenia, but also Hungary,» Nazeli Vardanyan cited the words of Prosecutor Veronica Kis. As of the appeal, according to Hungarian laws, it can be applied for in three days after announcement of the sentence. «The Court of Appeal considers only the course of the trial in compliance with the documents. If it is discontent with anything, a new trial is assigned. However, I do not think this is possible,» Vardanyan said.
