Azerbaijan and Hungary both joined European Convention on Extradition.
â€œI also met Ramil Safarov during my visit to Hungary. He gave me an application for extradition to Azerbaijan. As per the Convention, the extradition can be considered after the sentence becomes final,â€? he said.
He said that Ramilâ€™s appeal against the sentence will be considered in April. He said that Ramil Safarov can be extradited to Azerbaijan after the sentence becomes final.
â€œThe both countries are participator of multilateral agreements. They are members of Conventions adopted in 1957, 1959 and 1983. Thatâ€™s why there is no need for any other bilateral agreement,â€? he said.
Gafarov also said that Justice Ministries of the both countries will conclude an agreement on cooperation in near future. /APA/
