/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijan’s Embassy in Budapest has appealed to
Hungarian law enforcement bodies to “secure” Azerbaijani officer
Ramil Safarov. The statement says, “the reason is that Armenians
have recently declared that they will pay $125 thousand for Safarov’s
head. The Karabakh Liberation Organization has also recently appealed
to the Hungarian government with a similar request, APA reports.

February 19, 2004 lieutenant of the Armed Forces of Armenia Gurgen
Margaryan, sent to Budapest to take English courses within the NATO
Partnership for Peace Program, was brutally hacked by Azeri officer,
who took the same courses. Safarov is indicted in compliance with
article 116.2 of the Criminal Code of Hungary (murder, committed
with special cruelty, and attempt at lives of over one person), which
provides for punishment varying from imprisonment of 10-15 years to
life sentence. The last court hearing on Safarov’s case will be held
April 4. The verdict is to be announced April 13.
