YEREVAN. – The Armenian Parliament Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan will suspend his official visit to Hungary indefinitely. Abrahamyan planned to visit Hungary by the invitation of his Hungarian counterpart in late September. The suspension is linked to the extradition by the Hungarian authorities the murderer of the Armenian serviceman Gurgen Margaryan, Azerbaijani serviceman Ramil Safarov to Azerbaijan, parliamentary press service reports.

As the Armenian News-NEWS.am has earlier informed, the murder had taken place in Budapest on Feb. 19, 2004, where the Armenian military serviceman was taking part in an English-language course organized by NATO Partnership for Peace program.

In 2006, the Budapest court sentenced the Azerbaijani killer to life imprisonment, and without a chance for pardon for thirty years. And the reason for the brutal murder was simply that Margaryan was Armenian.
