Soldier who killed Armenian lieutenant at Nato peace summit released
early by Hungary and pardoned
By Umberto Bacchi:
An Azeri axe murderer has received a hero's welcome on his release
from prison where he served eight years for killing an Armenian
army officer.
Lt Ramil Safarov of the Azeri army was sentenced in 2004 to 30 years
in jail for attacking Armenian army Lt Gurgen Margaryan, 26, who was
asleep at the Budapest military academy in Hungary. The two had been
attending a Nato "Partnership for peace" training programme.
Margaryan was almost beheaded by 16 axe blows from Safarov, the court
heard. The defendant then repeatedly stabbed the corpse in the chest.
Safarov's murderous attack was in response to Margaryan jeering
about Nagorno-Karabakh, a predominantly Armenian enclave inside Azeri
territory which claimed independence in 1991 during the war between
the two countries.
Safarov was a refugee from the region.
