2022-02-19 11:53:23 ​​On this day, February 19, 2004, in Budapest, during the training of the NATO - “Partnership for Peace”, Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan was beheaded by Azerbaijani officer Ramil Safarov.

In 2006, Safarov was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life imprisonment in Hungary.

In 2012, after information appeared in the media that Azerbaijan was planning to purchase Hungarian government bonds worth 2 billion euros, Safarov was transferred to Azerbaijan, where he was pardoned by presidential decree and received various medals and monetary rewards.

Then President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan announced Armenia's suspension of diplomatic relations and all official communications with Hungary on the day of Safarov's release.

Sargsyan suggested the possibility that Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev and Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban had entered into a secret agreement during the latter's visit to Baku on June 30, 2012.

Margaryan's body was flown back to Armenia and was buried at Yerablur military cemetery. Open / Comment
