    ARMENIAN COMMUNITY PLANS TO INSTALL MEMORIAL PLAQUE HONORING GURGEN MARGARYAN

    13:07, 19.02.2015

    YEREVAN. - The Armenian community of Hungary plans to install a
    memorial plaque on the building where Gurgen Margaryan was killed 11
    years ago, deputy chairman of the Armenian organization of Hungary
    Nikoghos Hakobyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

    There is a khachkar in Budapest, and the Armenians and representatives
    of Hungarian NGOs honor memory of Gurgen Margaryan by bringing flowers
    to the khachkar, he said.

    The organization has already addressed Hungary's Defense Ministry
    with a request to install a memorial plaque on the building where
    Armenian soldier had been killed, and they are expecting the formal
    reply from the Ministry.

    Ramil Safarov, a then-lieutenant in the Azerbaijani military, was
    extradited on August 31, 2012 from Hungary, where he was serving a
    life sentence 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.

    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 Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan announced on August 31, 2012
    that Armenia is suspending its diplomatic ties with Hungary.
