PanARMENIAN.Net - Director of the Armenian Genocide Museum Institute
(AGMI) Hayk Demoyan does not consider Azerbaijani assassin Ramil
Safarov's extradition feasible.
In a conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, Mr. Demoyan ruled
out such a scenario recalling unprecedented murder of Armenian officer
Gurgen Margaryan.
According to AGMI Director, despite Azerbaijan's attempts to bribe
Hungarian court, the country did not shift its stance on the issue.
"Were Hungary to consider Safarov's extradition, it would have done
it right after sentencing," Demoyan stated, adding that Hungary will
refrain from any steps without prior reviewing Armenia's position.
Lieutenant of the Armenian Armed Forces Gurgen Margaryan, 26, was
hacked to death while asleep by fellow Azerbaijani participant Ramil
Safarov in Budapest during a three-month English language course in
the framework of Partnership for Peace NATO-sponsored program.
In accordance with Budapest District Court sentence dated April 13,
2006, Safarov was life imprisoned for murdering Margaryan. On February
22, 2007, Budapest Court rejected the Azerbaijani military officer's
appeal against the verdict which excluded possibility of pardon for
the initial 30 years. The appeal court ruled that the ruling brought
by Budapest District Court against 30-year-old Safarov, should stand.
Hayk Demoyan was Armenian Defense Ministry representative at the
Budapest trial in 2006.
