This night representatives of Armenia left for Budapest to participate
in the first court hearing of the appeal submitted by Ramil Safarov,
who was sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering Armenian Officer
Gurgen Margaryan.
Three years have passed after the Gurgen Margaryan's cruel
assassination in Budapest. Let us remind, that in 2004 Officer of
the Armed Forces of Armenia Gurgen Margaryan had left for Budapest to
participate in NATO's "Partnership for peace program." Azeri Officer
Ramil Safarov axed Gurgen Margaryan when he was asleep. On April 13,
2006 the Hungarian Court sentenced the criminal to life imprisonment
without the right of amnesty for 30 years.
Thereafter the Azeri side has been trying to soften the verdict of the
First Instance Court. On February 22 the appeal against the verdict
will be discussed at the Court of Appeal of Hungary. The Armenian
side will be represented by attorney Nazeli Vardanyan and Director
of the Genocide Museum-Institute Hayk Demoyan.
Attorney Nazeli Vardanyan told "Radiolur" that the chances of the
Azeri side are small.
"T Armenian delegation should show both the Azeri and Hungarian sides
that it will ensure that the criminal gets a maximum punishment,"
she said.
