The survey shows the majority of Hungarians are familiar with Ramil Safarov’s case and blame Azerbaijan for emerging tension.

The survey conducted by Szazadveg Foundation from Septemebr 7 to 12 showed that 94 percent of respondents were familiar with the story and 74 percent of Hungarians said the case was important from Hungary's point of view, MTI agency reported.

Fifty-nine percent of the population believed the Azerbaijani government was responsible for the situation that has developed, while 32 percent blamed the Hungarian government.

Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier that Ramil Safarov, a lieutenant in the Azerbaijani military, was extradited on August 31 from Hungary, where he was serving a life sentence—and with no expression of either regret or remorse—for the premeditated axe murder of Armenian lieutenant Gurgen Margaryan, in his sleep, during a NATO Partnership for Peace program in Budapest back in 2004. And Armenia’s President Serzh Sargsyan announced on August 31 that Armenia is suspending its diplomatic ties with Hungary.
