REMEMBERING GURGEN MARGARYAN: 10 YEARS AFTER THE BRUTAL MURDER - VIDEO
13:45 19.02.2014
Armenian Officer Gurgen Margaryan was murdered in Hungary on this
day ten years ago. On this occasion the "Azerbaijan: Crime and Racism
without Borders" video-footage in Russian and English has been released
as part of the "Common Genocide" project."
The film presents the story of the brutal murder, the axe-killer's
extradition to Azerbaijan and his glorification. The Hungarian
version of the video will be posted on the web in the near future. The
"Common Genocide" project is being realized by the Public Relations
and Information Department of the President's Staff.
On February 19, 2004 Lieutenant of the Armenian Armed Forces Gurgen
Margaryan 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.
In 2006, Safarov was sentenced to life imprisonment in Hungary with a
minimum incarceration period of 30 years. He was extradited on August
31, 2012 to Azerbaijan where he was greeted as a hero, pardoned by
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev despite contrary assurances made
to Hungary, promoted to the rank of major and given an apartment and
over eight years of back pay.
Following Safarov's pardon, Armenia severed diplomatic relations
with Hungary.
