    YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 19, ARMENPRESS: Hundreds of Armenians went today
    to Yerablour cemetery on a Yerevan outskirt to commemorate the third
    anniversary of a tragic death of Armenian army officer Gurgen Margarian
    who was hacked to death by an Azeri office Ramil Safarov three years
    ago in Budapest.

    The commemoration was organized by Gurgen Margarian NGO together with
    a regional chapter of the Republican Party in Achapnyak district of
    Yerevan and Armenian defense ministry.

    Last year a Hungarian court sentenced Ramil Safarov to life
    imprisonment without the right to apply for parole for the next 30
    years. Both were participants of an English language training course
    within the framework of the NATO-sponsored "Partnership for Peace"
    program held in Budapest, Hungary.
