Support A1+!Today the Budapest Court brought a verdict on the case of Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan’s murder realized by the Azeri defendant Ramil Safarov.

The judge presented the details of the trial thoroughly in the courtroom rejecting the fact that Safarov doesn’t know Russian, revealing the groundless “intrigues” of Safarov’s lawyers an refuting Safarov’s presumption of innocence. He ended his speech in the following way, “It is not heroism to kill a sleeping man in peaceful conditions; it is a crime and it doesn’t matter which nationality the murdered officer belonged to.”
Safarov will serve his sentence in Hungary. By the way, according to the laws of the country people committing crimes in severe conditions serve their terms in special criminal establishments.
