A delegation led by member of National Assembly of Hungary and
co-chair of the Azerbaijani-Hungarian intergovernmental economic
commission Peter Szijjarto will pay an official visit to Baku,
reports Panarmenia.net, citing Trend news agency.
According to the news account, the Hungarian delegation will comprise
representatives from various economic sectors, including banking,
tourism and Wizz Air airlines, with meeting with Azerbaijani Minister
of Economic Development Shahin Mustafayev on the agenda.
The delegation will also attend the opening ceremony of the 'House
of Hungary' in Baku.
According to Azeri media outlets, relations between Baku and Budapest
intensified following the transfer of Ramil Safarov to Baku, with
Azerbaijan and Hungary expressing mutual readiness to "expand economic
ties" and deepen cooperation in the field of education.
Ramil Safarov, the Azerbaijani army officer who was serving a life
sentence in Hungary for axing to death Armenian Lt. Gurgen Margaryan,
was extradited to Azerbaijan and pardoned by President Ilham Aliyev.
Official Yerevan reacted by suspending diplomatic ties with Hungary.
Hungary, however, states that it had sent Safarov back to Azerbaijan
after receiving assurances from the Azerbaijani Justice Ministry that
Safarov's sentence, which included the possibility of parole after
25 years, would be enforced.
According to some reports, Safarov was extradited to Azerbaijan in
exchange for Azeri purchase of Hungarian securities worth Euro 2-3
billion, information official Budapest denies.
