These days, every Azerbaijani celebrate extradition of Ramil Safarov to
Azerbaijan by the signed decree of Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev.
Ramil, who was the Azerbaijani lieutenant, was sentenced to life in
prison by Budapest District Court on April 13, 2006 for the 2004 axe
murder of Armenian officer Gurgen Margarian at the NATO's Partnership
for Peace training course in Budapest.
He confessed his criminal act but also explained why he chose to
murder Gurgen Margarian, who together with other Armenian officers
in the program insulted Ramil using abusive words in respect with
Azeri nation, captive Azerbaijani women, the impotence of Azerbaijani
soldiers and Ramil himself, to free the occupied Azerbaijani lands,
and tried to polish their boots with the national flag of Azerbaijan,
and gave him audio cassettes and books directly insulting Azerbaijan
nation.
Ramil was born in Jebrayil, one of the occupied districts of
Azerbaijan. He himself, his brother, relatives have been forced to flee
from Jebrayil and became one of the one million Azerbaijani refugees
as a result of Armenian aggression. His relatives Ramiz Agayev,
Ildirim Khuduyev, Shirin Shirinov, Kazim Shirinov, Tahir Shirinov,
Arif Alexeev and others have been killed by Armenians during the
bloody war of Armenia against Azerbaijan. Ramiz Agayev is reported to
be tortured and killed by Armenian soldiers along with 9 other Azeris.
Rape, occupation, ethnic cleansing, genocide, refugee life, and many
other horrible stories from the occupied Garabagh put their imprint in
the memory of Ramil. Millions of Azerbaijanis are still emotionally
and physically suffer when they recall the memories of Garabagh war,
especially the tragic life of Khojali women.
Armenian army together with the former soviet troops did not only
target Azerbaijani soldiers, but civilians, especially women and
children. Azerbaijani men took up their arms, went to the hills,
sought to resist the attack to their homes. The women and children
were left behind and unfortunately, defenseless. Azerbaijani women
suffered at the hands of the Armenian military forces and gangs during
the Armenian occupation and offensive attacks. Women and girls were
harassed, humiliated, and raped individually, serially, and by gangs.
Women were stripped and forced to submit sexually to the
sexual-sadistic fantansies of their persecutors, warders, and guards.
They were forced to dance and the gauntlet naked and defenseless.
Armenian military troops committed sexual crimes to humiliate as
many people as possible. They committed rapes committed in public
with an intention to terrorize Azerbaijani civilians and convince
them to flee from Garabagh.
Ramil grew up with stories how Armenian soldiers insulted the pride
of Azerbaijanis. The raped women in Khojali refused to return to
Azerbaijan and preferred to die in Armenian prison. Most of them
were pregnant, but it is hard to know what happened to these women
and children.
One Khojali witness says how the Armenian insurgents have taken all
her family in hostage. They have shot her mother, 7-years sister E.,
and aunt G. They demanded her father to declare that the Garabagh was
an Armenian land. When he refused to tell that the Armenians poured a
gasoline over him and have burnt. M. H., 33, mother of four children,
whose daughters were taken hostages, says that "in Karabagh women
learnt not to be afraid of death. They were afraid of only one thing -
to be taken hostage. Since those wild bandits, who did not have fear
of God cruelly raped girls, young girls and women.
"Many women refused to tell what happened to them in Armenian
captivity. 56 year old S. A. who witnessed rape says: "It is hard to
talk about this violence."
These are just a sample stories to explain why Ramil decided to kill
an Armenian officer with an axe in 2004. Of course, the majority
of Azerbaijanis expected him to be calm and not to give more false
claims against Azerbaijan by the Armenian offenders. It was not a
act of a hero, though, he gained sympathy of Azerbaijanis because
Ramil is the victim of Armenian violence, Armenian terrorism and
provocative acts by Armenian officers in Budapest.
Armenians on the other hand made Margaryan their hero, who was
awarded with a posthumous Medal for Courage on February 19, 2005,
by the Armenian government.
So, what would be the consequences of Ramil's release to Azerbaijan?
Armenian nationalists have already started a campaign against
Hungary, and demand the Armenian government to severe the diplomatic
relationships with Hungary. Meanwhile, Azerbaijanis continue to
celebrate the extradition and symbolically interpret it as a victory
against Armenia.
