The Russian society will hold a public rally in Moscow. The event will take place on September 14 at 1pm.  

The gathering will be devoted to Hungary’s extradition of Ramil Safarov to Azerbaijan and his subsequent pardoning in that country. Moscow Municipality has sanctioned the holding of this rally, the Russian-Armenian Cooperation informs.

This public meeting is the Russian body politic’s protest against the Azerbaijani-Hungarian arrangement.

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.

As expected, Ramil Safarov’s return to Baku was welcomed, as was his act of murder, by the officials of president Ilham Aliyev’s government and much of Azerbaijani society, and the Azerbaijani president immediately granted him a pardon.

And Armenia’s President Serzh Sargsyan announced on August 31 that Armenia is suspending its diplomatic ties with Hungary.
