Lieutenant of the Armenian armed forces Gurgen Margaryan, 26, was hacked to death, while asleep, by lieutenant Safarov, in Budapest during a three-month English language course in the framework of NATO-sponsored Partnership for Peace program. On April 13, 2006, Budapest District Court sentenced Safarov to life in prison for murdering Margaryan. On February 22, 2007, Budapest Court rejected the Azerbaijani military officer's appeal against the verdict, precluding possibility of pardon for the initial 30 years. However, Safarov was extradited to Azerbbaijan, where he was granted a presidential pardon almost immediately after his arrival. Top stories Six total incidents have burned 19 old-growth trees.
