Ramil Safarov
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ramil Safarov (Azerbaijani: Ramil Səfərov) was a lieutenant in the Azerbaijani Army. He was born in 1977 in the town of Jabrayil, which is currently controlled by ethnic Armenian forces, and comes from a refugee family. [1] In February of 2004, while attending a NATO Partnership for Peace program, Safarov was arrested by Hungarian police for the murder of Armenian fellow participant Lieutenant Gurgen Markaryan. Markaryan had been hacked to death with an axe and a knife. In addition to Markaryan's murder, Safarov had attempted to murder captain Hayk Makuchyan, another Armenian. [2] Azerbaijani Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed condolences to the family of Gurgen Markaryan.[3]
A lower court sentenced Safarov to life imprisonment on charges of premeditated murder with extreme cruelty.
