    PanARMENIAN.Net - Disgruntlement over Hungary's decision to allow a
    convicted Azeri criminal to serve his sentence at home was expressed
    among Estonia's Armenian community of 1,500, ERR reported.

    About 100 Armenians staged a protest on September 6 outside an Armenian
    church in Tallinn over the return of Ramil Safarov to his homeland,
    where he was promptly pardoned by the president of Azerbaijan.

    Safarov was convicted of the murder of an Armenian who attended NATO
    English courses in Budapest in 2004.

    Armenia broke off diplomatic relations with Hungary after the pardon.

    About 100 Azeri expats staged a counterprotest at Azerbaijan's embassy
    in Tallinn the same day.
