YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 8, ARMENPRESS: An Armenian lawyer will fly soon to Budapest to represent the interests of a family, whose son, Gurgen Margarian, was killed last February 19 in Hungary by an Azerbaijani officer. Margarian, 26, was murdered in his sleep with unusual cruelty by Ramil Safarov. Margarian’s head was nearly severed from his blood-stained body which had multiple chest stabs.
Both officers were participating in an English-language course at the Hungarian University of National Defense as part of NATO’s Partnership for Peace (PfP) program of which Armenia and Azerbaijan are members.
The lawyer, Nazeli Vardanian, will have to familiarize herself with the case materials before November 23 when Safarov’s trial is set to begin. Safarov is accused of committing a premeditated murder with unusual cruelty and may face a sentence from 15 years in prison up to life imprisonment.
The trial was postponed after Safarov asked that the indictment must be translated into Azerbaijani language.
The Armenian International Union of Lawyers has created a team of lawyers to help Nazeli Vardanian.
