YEREVAN, OCTOBER 18, ARMENPRESS: The extradition of Azerbaijani
perpetrator Ramil Safarov has nothing to do with any financial factor.
As reports Armenpress, this was noted by State Secretary for Foreign
Affairs under Hungarian Prime Minister's office Peter Shiyarto in
the letter responding to the question of Shushan Harutyunyan, the
student of Budapest's Central European University.
"Our decision concerning this issue was not aimed against Armenia
or Armenian nation, a nation which has been respected by Hungarian
nation from the Middle Ages, when Armenian families started to settle
on the territory of Hungarian kingdom. Hungary deeply regrets for the
decision of Armenian President to suspend the relations between the two
countries, and Hungarian government will spare no efforts to restore
the relations with Armenia in near future" was noted in the letter.
Hungarian State Minister once again underlined that Safarov's
extradition corresponds to the Strasbourg Convention on the transfer
of sentenced persons. Azeri perpetrator Ramil Safarov hacked Armenian
officer Gurgen Margaryan with an axe during the 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 Azerbaijan on August 31 and granted amnesty
immediately by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. Armenia suspended
its diplomatic relations with Hungary.
Many international and local organizations, political parties and
politicians expressed condemned the shameful bargain between Azerbaijan
and Hungary.
