    PUBLIC FIGURE: AZERBAIJAN WILLING TO BLACKMAIL HUNGARY OVER SAFAROV'S CASE

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan seeks to achieve release of Armenian
    officer's assassin Ramil Safarov through offering financial support
    to Hungary, RA first human rights defender said.

    "Negative political developments have recently been recorded in
    Hungary, such as shift from democracy into authoritarianism and
    disastrous economic situation," Larisa Alaverdyan said, deeming
    Safarov's extradition from Hungary possible.

    In this context, Ms. Alaverdyan cited several media publications
    expressing Azerbaijan's readiness to redeem Hungary's state bonds at
    the amount of $2-3 bln.

    "It's noteworthy that Azerbaijan's corrupt activities were mentioned
    in reports by international and European institutions. Such procedures
    can't be termed as mere coincidence," she said, adding that Hungary's
    political elite entered into disgraceful relations with Azerbaijan
    through Turkey's mediation.

    Lieutenant of the Armenian Armed Forces Gurgen Margaryan, 26, 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.

    On April 13, 2006, Budapest District Court sentenced Safarov to life
    in prison for murdering Margaryan. On February 22, 2007, Budapest
    Court rejected the Azerbaijani military officer's appeal against the
    verdict, precluding possibility of pardon for the initial 30 years.

    By a decree of then-President of Armenia, Robert Kocharian, officer
    Margaryan was awarded with a posthumous Medal for Courage on February
    19, 2005.
