At his meeting with Hungarian President LÃ¡szlÃ³ SÃ³lyom Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan thanked him for an unambiguous and fair
approach to the investigation of the Gurgen Margaryan murder case
displayed by the Hungarian judicial power.

We would remind our readers that, on February 19, 2004, the Armenian
officer, Lieutenant Gurgen Margaryan, who attended training courses
under the Partnership for Peace program, was axed by the Azeri officer
Ramil Safarov, who attended the same training courses. Gurgen Margaryan
was asleep when the murderer burst into his room.

On April 16, 2006, the court sentenced Safarov to life imprisonment
without possibility of appeal until 2036. The judge, Andras Vaskuti,
cited as reasons for the sentence the brutality of the crime and the
fact that Safarov showed no remorse.

As regards the Azerbaijani authorities, they, including President
Ilham Aliyev, tried to get Safarov extradited, but the Hungarian
authorities do not yield to pressure.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
