Armenians to stage protest in Washington
Armenians are going to stage a protest action in front of the Hungarian Embassy in Washington in protest of the extradition of Ramil Safarov, an Azerbaijani military officer sentenced to life in prison in Hungary for hacking to death Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan, The Voice of America reports.
Safarov was given a life sentence in 2006 by the Budapest City Court after he confessed to killing Margaryan while both were in Hungary for a 2004 NATO language course. Safarov was sent back to his homeland on Friday and, despite assurances, immediately pardoned and freed by Azerbaijani president.
