    Extradition of the murderer of the Armenian officer by the Hungarian
    government raised a wave of complaint among the Romanian Armenians,
    Armenpress news agency reports.

    Besides the strict violations of international norms of legal and
    diplomatic relations they view it as a blow to the memory of the
    Hungarian Armenians who had significant contribution to the
    reinforcement and development of the country. The leadership of the
    Romanian Armenian community has convened assemblies on Saturday and
    Sunday to discuss the further steps.

    A decision has been made to release a joint statement by the Romanian
    Armenian Union and Diocese. After getting City Hall's permission a
    protest rally will be conducted in front of the Hungarian embassy in
    Bucharest.


    The Romanian press is widely covering the developments over Safarov's
    extradition, refers to Armenia's decision to suspend diplomatic
    relations with Hungary. A number of leading mass media referred to the
    murder of Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan by Safarov, reported about
    the latter's trial in Budapest and honoring events in Azerbaijan on
    the occasion of his return.

    On September 2, at approximately 12.00 p.m. local time a person
    imitating child's voice called the Romanian police saying a bomb is
    placed in the Hungary's embassy. The employees were immediately
    evacuated, the police searched the territory without finding anything.
    The alarm was false.

    Adam Balas, political consultant of the embassy, said it is a
    frequently met phenomenon in Romania. The local press though ties the
    incident with the extradition of Safarov.

    Protest rallies are being held in front of Hungarian embassies in
    different countries.
