The Hungarian government stated that it is done according to international law. The President of Azerbaijan Republic Ilham Aliyev issued a pardon immediately upon Safarov's arrival in Baku and ordered that he be "freed from the term of his punishment." After arriving in Baku, Safarov stated: "This is the restoration of justice. It was a little surprise for me." He then visited Martyrs' Lane to lay flowers at the tomb of Azerbaijan's former president Heydar Aliyev. He also laid flowers at the Eternal Flame monument and visited a monument to Turkish soldiers.
