The Hungarians deserve real disrespect as they sold themselves to the
Azerbaijanis like real prostitutes, a group of young activists
protesting outside the Hungarian Consulate said today.
The crowd voiced its criticism against the Hungarian authorities'
decision to return the convicted Azerbaijani officer, Ramil Safarov,
to his home country.
The protest had brought together activists of the youth union Hayazn,
as well as bloggers and a number of others who criticized the
decision.
`Let us all of us buy those prostitutes, throw coins at them and burn
their flag; this is what they deserve,' they said, throwing coins at
the Hungarian flag and burning the piece.
While the protest was going on, several young protesters headed to the
Foreign Ministry to voice a note of protest.
The first made a statement, condemning the Hungarian government's
decision, and then hailed the Armenian authorities' decision to cut
diplomatic ties with the country.
`NATO too, has its share of responsibility, so it is necessary to
clarify our steps with the alliance, and think of calling back our
peace-keepers,' one of the protest organizers, Armen Aghayan, told
Tert.am.
Before the protest was due to begin, the chief of Armenia's
presidential staff, Vigen Sargsyan, visited the foreign office.
Safarov axed Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan to death in 2004 when
they both were in Hungary for a Nato-organized English language
training. The Budapest City Court sentenced Safarov to life
imprisonment in 2006, without any right to appeal against the ruling
for 30 years.
But after being transferred to Azerbaijan, the murderer was granted
pardon by the country's president, Ilham Aliyev.
The Armenian authorities voiced yesterday their intention to sever
diplomatic ties with Hungary.
The decision to pardon Safarov has been also condemned by US President
Barrack Obama, the Department of State, and several congressmen.
