14:41, 19 February, 2014
YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 19, ARMENPRESS: The extradition of the Azerbaijani
assassin Ramil Safarov, who axe-murdered Armenian officer Gurgen
Margaryan during the NATO courses in Budapest, was a big mistake by the
government of Hungary. It was more than a mistake, as it "poisoned"
the Hungary's relations with Armenia and other countries of the
world. The president of the Hungarian Honorary Consular Corps Gyorgy
Suha told Armenpress about it. "The Armenian-Hungarian relations and
friendship have a historic value. It is very important to restore the
diplomatic relations with Armenia. Armenia is our friendly country
and we have a general history and share common values", - said the
Hungarian political figure.
According to him, the extradition of Ramil Safarov was a political
decision and did not have any legal background. "We should solve the
diplomatic issues diplomatically and find urgent solutions for the
restoration of the relations", - said Gyorgy Suha.
An event dedicated to the 10th anniversary of death of Armenian officer
Gurgen Margaryan, who was brutally killed by Azerbaijani criminal
Ramil Safarov, will be held on February 19 in the Armenian Cultural
Centre of Hungary. The representatives of the Armenian community will
place flowers by the cross-stone near the Danube River.
After, the Hungarian public activists, who paid a visit to Armenia
after Safarov's extradition and apologized to Margaryan's parents,
will perform speeches at the Armenian Cultural Centre of Hungary.
On February 19 2004 in Budapest Azerbaijani assassin Ramil Safarov,
who axe-murdered Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan while sleeping
with 16 blows, when they were participating in NATO English Language
Courses in the capital of Hungary, was sentenced to life imprisonment
without right to be pardoned for 30 years. On August 31 2012 Safarov
was extradited from Hungary to Azerbaijan and was pardoned by the
President Ilham Aliyev. The murderer was advanced to major, provided
with an apartment and given "national hero" and compensated for the
8 years of the imprisonment in Hungary. Armenia suspended diplomatic
relations with Hungary.
The extradition, pardoning and release of Safarov were condemned by
many countries and authoritative organizations of the world.
