The trial of the Azeri officer having axed the Armenian officer Gurgen
Margaryan started yesterday in Budapest and was postponed till February
5, 2005.
Today more than 5.000 students and schoolchildren have held a
protest action on the initiative of â~@~Gurgen Margaryanâ~@~]
charitable social organization in Yerevan, which ended in a march
in Tsitsernakaberd.
â~@~]Beginning from 5:00 AM of February 19, 2004 to this very day
the world is unaware of what happened in Budapest. It wasnâ~@~Yt
an ordinary murder. It is represented as if a Turk has killed an
Armenian. Azerbaijanis affirm that during the war Armenians killed
the parents and relatives of Ramil Safarov, so he couldnâ~@~Y t live
calmly. In fact, those statements pursue another object. Azerbaijan
once again tries to distort the historical events and factsâ~@~],
publicist Zori Balayan said while making a speech.
According to the Armenian official sources, Safarovâ~@~Ys parents
havenâ~@~Yt been from Jabrayil, as Azerbaijanis assert. Soon Zori
Balayan will publish Safarovâ~@~Ys preliminary testimony, which had
later been changed.
Writer Grigor Janikyan drew participantsâ~@~Y attention to the
statement made by an Azeri MP who had said: â~@~Ramil Safarov must
be protected at a state level. He will return to the homeland in
a year and will head military operations to obliterate thousands of
Armenians. Armenians in Karabakh must be annihilatedâ~@~].
The organizers of the action as well informed that in the beginning
of the trial 100.000 Azerbaijanis â~@~S the participants of the
signature collecting – had demanded Budapest Court to release
Safarov. The participants of the meeting in Yerevan announced that
Gurgen Margaryan was the victim of Genocide and demanded a due
punishment for the criminal.
