Yerevan/Mediamax/. Armenia can hold Azerbaijan accountable for the
murder of Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan, lawyer Nazeli Vardanyan,
who represents the interests of Gurgen Margaryan's family in Budapest,
told Mediamax's correspondent commenting on the reports that the
murderer of the Armenian officer Ramil Safarov was pardoned and
released.
"Armenia can bring a lawsuit against Azerbaijan based on international
conventions. This country has actually claimed responsibility for
the murder of the Armenian officer," said Nazeli Vardanyan.
"During all these years Azerbaijan has used all the resources for the
extradition of Ramil Safarov. The Armenian Foreign Ministry assured
us that relevant work was underway in order to prevent the extradition
of Ramil Safarov to motherland,' the lawyer said.
Ramil Safarov, who was serving a life-time imprisonment in Hungary for
the brutal murder of Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan, has returned
to Azerbaijan and was pardoned by President Ilham Aliyev.
On February 19, 2004, Ramil Safarov brutally killed 26-year-old
Armenian officer, Lieutenant Gurgen Margaryan, who was on training
at the University of the National Defense of Hungary within NATO's
"Partnership for Peace" program. At 5:00 early in the morning Ramil
Safarov axed Gurgen Margaryan who was asleep.
