September 05, 2013 | 10:46
YEREVAN. - Artush Margaryan, the father of Gurgen Margaryan who
was axed to death by Azerbaijani officer Ramil Safarov, attempted
to commit suicide, and he was taken to Malatia Medical center in
Armenia's capital cityYerevan.
Artush Margaryan had stabbed himself several times in the stomach area
and he was hospitalized at midnight. He is now undergoing a surgery,
the hospital informedArmenian News-NEWS.am.
To note, Ramil Safarov, a then-lieutenant in the Azerbaijani military,
was extradited on August 31, 2012 from Hungary, where he was serving a
life sentence-and with no expression of either regret or remorse-for
the premeditated axe murder of Armenian lieutenant Gurgen Margaryan,
in his sleep, during a NATO Partnership for Peace program in Budapest
back in 2004. Safarov had planned on killing the other Armenian
military serviceman, who likewise was attending the aforesaid program,
but he was unable to carry out this plan.
Ramil Safarov's return to Baku was welcomed, as was his act of murder,
by the officials of president Ilham Aliyev's government and much
of Azerbaijani society, and the Azerbaijani president immediately
granted him a pardon, he was declared a national hero, promoted to
a higher military rank, and was allocated housing and pension.
Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan announced on August 31, 2012
that Armenia is suspending its diplomatic ties with Hungary. Also,
Sargsyan instructed the Ministry of Justice to take all measures to
petition to the international judicial tribunals, and with respect
to the Safarov case.
Ramil Safarov's pardoning was condemned by virtually all international
organizations.
Also, a group of Hungarian intellectuals visited Armenia last year-and
in connection with this incident-to announce that they are ashamed
of the action that was taken by the Hungarian authorities.
