YEREVAN, OCTOBER 8, ARMENPRESS: Hungarian nation is not our enemy,
despite the decision made by official Budapest. Armenpress reports
that Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan in the exclusive interview with
Hungarian ATV referred to such issues as Armenian-Hungarian relations,
NKR settlement issue and the extradition of Safarov.
"We consider it as a wrong decision" noted Serzh Sargsyan when
referring to Safarov's extradition by Hungary. Armenian President
hasn't noticed the objective of the peaceful settlement of NKR issue
in Azerbaijani policy, nevertheless "Armenia would spare no effort to
achieve it". President also mentioned that in case of military attack
against Nagorno-Karabakh Armenia would defend the citizens of NKR.
Armenian President noted that Hungarian government has acknowledged the
consequences of the decision and what about country's top officials,
they has ensured Armenia for months that Safarov would be never
extradited.
"I don't want Armenian nation to turn it's back on Hungarian nation,
as Hungarian government did on Armenia" concluded Armenian President.
Serzh Sargsyan highlighted that Armenian and Hungarian people used
to have very warm and friendly relations, and there were Armenian
heroes who died for Hungary's Independence. He noted that if it is
needed there will still be. Safarov's extradition by Hungary inflamed
the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict at the same time undermining the
European Union's eastern policy.
Azeri perpetrator Ramil Safarov hacked Armenian officer Gurgen
Margaryan with an axe during the English training courses organized
by NATO in Budapest. Safarov was sentenced to a life imprisonment
without the right of granting clemency in first 30 years. Safarov
was transferred to Azerbaijani on August 31, 2012 and granted amnesty
immediately by his country. Armenia suspended its diplomatic relations
with Hungary.
