HUNDREDS GATHER IN NY TO PROTEST RELEASE AND PARDON

Several hundred Armenian Americans from all walks of community life gathered at the Hungarian Consulate in Manhattan on Monday evening to protest Hungary’s extradition and Azerbaijan’s subsequent pardon of murder Ramil Safarov, who brutally murdered Lieutenant G. Margarian in Hungary and was serving a life sentence in Hungary. He was recently extradited to Azerbaijan where he was promptly pardoned and welcomed as a hero.

The protest was at the Consulate of Hungary in Manhattan, on Monday, September 10. Similar protests and candlelight vigils took place around the world calling for justice.
