YEREVAN. Armenia's Justice Ministry still refrains from declaring
details on the 'Safarov's case', the case of Azerbaijani murderer
who killed Armenian lieutenant Gurgen Margaryan.
"A working group has been established. No other details are available
not for public yet," the Ministry spokesperson Karine Kalantaryan
told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
Safarov, a lieutenant in the Azerbaijani military, was extradited
on August 31 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 in Budapest back in 2004.
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 and he was declared a national hero.
And Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan announced on August 31 that
Armenia is suspending its diplomatic ties with Hungary. Also, Sargsyan
had instructed the Ministry of Justice to take all measures to apply
to the international judicial tribunals, and with respect to the
Safarov case.
