Orban again came forth with statement on criminal  Safarov extradition

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 11, ARMENPRESS:  Hungarian PM Victor Orban again had a briefing with the reporters on criminal  Ramil Safarov extradition to Azerbaijani authorities. The Hungarian high ranking official deems Hungarian Government decision of criminal transfer just. ''The government decision on the repatriation of the Azeri axe murderer was just'' , Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in parliament on Monday, reports Armenpress citing Politics.hu. Orban said he rejected suggestions by the opposition Socialists that financial considerations were behind the government's decision to transfer Ramil Safarov to his homeland. He said the legal practice in Hungary ''had always been and will remain so'' to allow a sentenced person to complete their punishment at home if their home country requests this. Orban said the government took into account considerations of international law and diplomacy. The Socialists have called on the government to disclose all documents pertaining to Safarov’s transfer and the ombudsman asked for a comprehensive report. Safarov, who had been sentenced to life imprisonment for killing an Armenian in Budapest in 2004, was transferred from Hungary to Azerbaijan on August 31. On arrival in Baku, he was pardoned by the president and released. Armenia suspended diplomatic relations with Hungary later that day
