Anti-Armenian hysteria in Azerbaijan leads to dreadful and wild behavior
Karine Ter-Sahakyan
Floods of dirt and falsehood have already brought up in Azerbaijan a
whole generation, for whom the assassination of an Armenian is
heroism, and even duty.

Today is the odd and sorrowful day of February 19 that marks the 5th
anniversary of the brutal assassination of Armenian military officer
Gurgen Margaryan by Azeri serviceman Ramil Safarov in Budapest,
Hungary. Today the Armenian Apostolic Church also celebrates
`Vardanants Day' and marks the anniversary of
Presidential Elections in Armenia.
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ But we'll dwell only on Gurgen Margaryan,
or, to be more exact, on the motivation Safarov had for this barbaric
act. The progressive anti-Armenian hysteria in Azerbaijan may lead to
even more dreadful and wild behavior in future. It has already wiped
off a thick layer of civilization under which we once again noticed
the Turk asker's face, distorted with hatred and fury, an
asker whose cherished dream was to murder Armenians. In order not to
sound groundless, we'll quote the words of Safarov, who is
considered a hero in his motherland, if not a shahid. By the way, the
enthusiasm of Baku to take what is left lying around loose, brought to
the term `shahid' to be smartly altered so that
it meets the needs of the Azeri Agitation and Propaganda
Department. `Shahid' is a martyr for belief, but
never a street bandit like the `heroic' soldier
of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces. During the first interrogation,
Safarov motivated.
During the first interrogation, Safarov motivated his deed as follows:
`I regret I didn't kill any Armenian before¦ When I learnt there
were two Armenians taking the same courses I felt hatred for
them. When they greeted me I did not answer. One day they passed by
and smiled. That moment I decided that I will cut off their heads at
dawn. I tried to open the door and it opened, it wasn't locked. I
turned on the light. Entering the door on the left bed the Armenian
was lying facing the wall. The Hungarian was on the right hand side
bed, but I didn't pay attention to the way he was lying. As I turned
on the light the Armenian turned to his back, trying to open his eyes,
but at that moment I hit him at the forehead with the flat side of the
axe. The Hungarian guy woke up and told me in English: `Please¦
please¦' I told him it was not his business and it was only between
Armenians and Azeris. Then I turned the axe to the sharp side and hit
the Armenian on the neck. I don't exactly remember where else I hit,
but I also remember having hit him on the leg.'
As a matter of principle, Safarov's deed is quite
explicable. With current state in Azerbaijan, when the news headlines
are crammed with criminals, drug addicts and perverts, such kind of
actions are standard. It is only for civilized countries that any case
of murder is considered savagery, while for nomads it is a natural
state of mind. Floods of dirt and falsehood have already brought up in
Azerbaijan a whole generation, for whom the assassination of an
Armenian is heroism, and even duty. And if there is no Armenian close
at hand, an Azeri is ready to kill, rape and spoil his neighbour,
brother, or even mother. The other day the already closed website
Day.az published a story about a child viciously beheaded by his
father.
All the efforts of the Azerbaijani side to recognize Safarov
irresponsible and achieve extradition to homeland proved useless. On
April 13, 2006 the First Instance Court of Budapest sentenced Safarov
to life imprisonment without a right of pardon for 30 years. In
February 2007, the Budapest Court of Appeals upheld the verdict. But
not only did Safarov commit a murder, he also s
But not only did Safarov commit a murder, he also started a fight with
a policeman, thus getting another term in jail. No comment¦
And lastly. On May 19, 2008 Safarov's lawyer Adil Ismailov organized a
press-conference in the legal office `ADISAD' with participation of
Rafik Ismailov, member of the `Human Rights XXI century - Azerbaijan'
Foundation. Answering the question issued by Rafik Ismailov concerning
violation of Safarov's rights at the trial, the lawyer said serious
violations had been committed.
Especially, there was not taken into account Ramil Safarov's bad
conduct of the Russian language and thus, he was deprived of his right
to give evidence in the Azeri language with the help of an
interpreter. The lawyer also noted that Safarov's first interrogation
was carried out 8 hours after his detention. At the same time they
failed to consider the weak moral- psychological and physical state of
Ramil, which is a grave violation of the investigation process too.
Of course he was «morally weak»; after all killing an
Armenian was a hard job for faint-hearted Safarov.
