There are no intergovernmental agreements between Hungary and Azerbaijan providing for extradition, [...]. «When Ramil Safarov's lawyer Adil Ismaylov mentions extradition, he merely misleads the Azeri society,» [...] no matter how much effort the Azeri party makes to present Safarov as «a hero», the murder of the Armenian officer with aggravation caused irremediable moral damage to Azerbaijan.

February 19, 2004 lieutenant of the Armed Forces of Armenia Gurgen Margaryan, sent to Budapest to take English courses within the NATO Partnership for Peace Program, was brutally hacked by Azeri officer, who took the same courses. Safarov is indicted in compliance with article 116.2 of the Criminal Code of Hungary (murder, committed with special cruelty, and attempt at lives of over one person), which provides for punishment varying from imprisonment of 10-15 years to life sentence.
