    REMEMBERING GURGEN MARGARYAN: 10 YEARS AFTER THE BRUTAL MURDER - VIDEO

    13:45 19.02.2014

    Armenian Officer Gurgen Margaryan was murdered in Hungary on this
    day ten years ago. On this occasion the "Azerbaijan: Crime and Racism
    without Borders" video-footage in Russian and English has been released
    as part of the "Common Genocide" project."

    The film presents the story of the brutal murder, the axe-killer's
    extradition to Azerbaijan and his glorification. The Hungarian
    version of the video will be posted on the web in the near future. The
    "Common Genocide" project is being realized by the Public Relations
    and Information Department of the President's Staff.

    On February 19, 2004 Lieutenant of the Armenian Armed Forces Gurgen
    Margaryan was hacked to death, while asleep, by a fellow Azerbaijani
    participant, Lieutenant Ramil Safarov, in Budapest during a three-month
    English language course in the framework of NATO-sponsored Partnership
    for Peace program.

    In 2006, Safarov was sentenced to life imprisonment in Hungary with a
    minimum incarceration period of 30 years. He was extradited on August
    31, 2012 to Azerbaijan where he was greeted as a hero, pardoned by
    Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev despite contrary assurances made
    to Hungary, promoted to the rank of major and given an apartment and
    over eight years of back pay.

    Following Safarov's pardon, Armenia severed diplomatic relations
    with Hungary.
