Hungarian court today held next trial hearing on jailer's claim against Ramil Safarov, Azerbaijani Army officer, who was sentenced to life in prison for murdering Armenian lieutenant Gurgen Markarian in Hungary

Azerbaijani Embassy in Hungary told the APA three more witnesses testified in the trial. They participated in the incident.

The next trial will be held on November 17. Two more witnesses will testify and, the court verdict will be announced.

Clara Fisher, Hungarian lawyer for Ramil defends him on this case. While being held in Hungarian prison in 2004, jailers wanted telephone card from Ramil. But Ramil could not understand Hungarian which led an incident between them. Eight police officers tied his hands and used force. Though lawyers for the Azerbaijani lieutenant appealed to court related to this matter, the court dismissed the appeal saying there was no evidence. Then the opposite side claimed that Ramil resisted officials.
