Hours after hearing the news about Azerbaijani officer Ramil Safarov
being extradited to Azerbaijan, several representatives from the
Armenian community in Washington, DC. held an impromptu demonstration
before the Embassy of Hungary.
The protesters remained in front of the Embassy for nearly three
hours. Separately, the demonstrators'' attempts to Email and establish
telephonic contact with the Embassy, to receive an explanation, were
unsuccessful.
Also, an agent from the US special services appeared nearby the
Embassy, at the end of demonstration, recorded the names of the
protest organizers, and noted that they had received a call from the
Embassy to provide security, Voice of America reports.
Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier that Ramil Safarov, a
lieutenant in the Azerbaijani military, was extradited on Friday from
Hungary, where he was serving a life sentence - and with no expression
of either regret or remorse - for the premeditated axe murder of
Armenian lieutenant Gurgen Margaryan, in his sleep, during a NATO
Partnership for Peace program.
As expected, 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 the Azerbaijani president
immediately granted him a pardon.
