BAKU, FEBRUARY 16, ARMENPRESS: Azerbaijan's National-Democratic party
(the alternate name is Grey Wolves) has declared a murderer the Man
of the Year.
An online Day.az newspaper reports that the party picked up Ramil
Safarov, a lieutenant in the Azerbaijani army, who in February of 2004
killed brutally an Armenian officer Gurgen Margarian, while attending
a NATO Partnership for Peace program in Budapest, Hungary to declare
him as the Man of the Year.
Hungarian police said Margarian had been hacked to death with an
axe and a knife while he slept. A Budapest policeman commented
that the murder had been conducted "with unusual cruelty," adding:
"besides a number of knife wounds on his chest, the victim's head
was practically severed from his body." Safarov is now on trial
in Hungary. The Day.az said the party will award a special diploma
'for protection of the state and national interests' to Safarov's
family. Safarov was also elected 'honorable member of the party'.
