    ARMENIAN NGOS PROTEST POSSIBLE EXTRADITION OF AZERBAIJANI OFFICER CONVICTED FOR MURDER

    More than 80 NGOs in Armenia have signed a petition opposing the
    possible extradition of Ramil Safarov, an Azerbaijani army officer
    who murdered Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan during a NATO military
    exercise in Hungary in 2004.

    Lieutenant Safarov was sentenced to life imprisonment in Hungary.

    Safarov had snuck into Margaryan's dormitory and proceeded to hack
    him to death with an axe.

    The Armenian NGOs are concerned over the fact that the issue was
    discussed during a recent trip to Hungary by Azerbaijani Deputy FM
    Khalap Khalapov.

    Former Heritage Party MP Larisa Alaverdyan (photo, left) says that
    Safarov would be treated like a national hero if extradited and that
    Baku might try to use oil as a bartering chip with Hungary.
