Hungarian Foreign Ministry's consulate service issued a statement
for those who want to visit Armenia.
The statement says Hungarian foreign ministry has not received
any information suggesting that Hungarians in Armenia have been
discriminated against since that country's suspending diplomatic ties
with Hungary, MTI agency reported.
The Ministry said Armenian authorities have not introduced
restrictions for Hungarian visitors, and visas to Armenia continue to
be available. However, Hungarian citizens were warned that consular
affairs are not available in Armenia and they must apply to other
embassy of EU member states in Yerevan.
Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier that Ramil Safarov, a lieutenant
in the Azerbaijani military, was extradited on August 31 from Hungary,
where he was serving a life sentence-and with no expression of
either regret or remorse-for the premeditated axe murder of Armenian
lieutenant Gurgen Margaryan, in his sleep, during a NATO Partnership
for Peace program in Budapest back in 2004.
As expected, Ramil Safarov's return to Baku was welcomed, as was
his act of murder, by the officials of president Ilham Aliyev's
government and much of Azerbaijani society, and the Azerbaijani
president immediately granted him a pardon.
And Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan announced on August 31 that
Armenia is suspending its diplomatic ties with Hungary.
