YEREVAN. - The Armenian Parliament Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan will
suspend his official visit to Hungary indefinitely. Abrahamyan planned
to visit Hungary by the invitation of his Hungarian counterpart
in late September. The suspension is linked to the extradition by
the Hungarian authorities the murderer of the Armenian serviceman
Gurgen Margaryan, Azerbaijani serviceman Ramil Safarov to Azerbaijan,
parliamentary press service reports.
As the Armenian News-NEWS.am has earlier informed, the murder had
taken place in Budapest on Feb. 19, 2004, where the Armenian military
serviceman was taking part in an English-language course organized
by NATO Partnership for Peace program.
In 2006, the Budapest court sentenced the Azerbaijani killer to life
imprisonment, and without a chance for pardon for thirty years. And the
reason for the brutal murder was simply that Margaryan was Armenian.
