Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan paid tribute to memory of Gurgen Margaryan, an Armenian officer brutally killed by Azerbaijani serviceman Ramil safarov during a NATO training in Budapest.

“Today we are paying tribute to the memory of Gurgen Margaryan, an Armenian officer who became an innocent victim of hatred, racism and anti-Armenian policy. We express our solidarity to all members and friends of the Margaryan family,” he tweeted.

“The murder of Gurgen Margaryan, and the further pardon and glorification of the convicted murderer is a vivid promotion of impunity for heinous crimes that violate fundamental human rights. We are committed to preventing further occurrences of similar identity-based crimes. ”
