The Central Council of Armenia in Germany calls for organizing
demonstrations in front of the Hungarian diplomatic institutions in
Germany.
On September 1 the Central Council of Armenia in Germany (CCAG) issued
a press release expressing its annoyance regarding the decision of the
Hungarian authorities to extradite the murderer Ramil Safarov who was
sentenced to life imprisonment and granting him pardon by the
President of Azerbaijan and making a hero of him.
In its statement CCAG expressed its protest against the evil deal made
between Hungary and Azerbaijan violating all the principles of
international law. The statement runs, `it is unforgiveable that Baku
grants pardon to murderer Safarov immediately after his extradition
and worships him. Equally unforgivable is Budapest's step. Hungary
could clearly foresee that Baku would not fulfill its promises and the
murderer would not suffer his punishment in his homeland'.
The murder was committed exclusively on the ethnic ground and the
European governments should voice their views and give their political
assessment over the incident. CCAG welcomes the decision of the
Republic of Armenia to cease all the diplomatic relations with
Hungary, as well as considers the severe criticisms against the
Hungarian and Azeri governments made by high-ranking French, Swedish,
Hungarian and U.S. officials as exemplary and hopes that the German
authorities will follow the examples of their European and
transoceanic partners and will adequately condemn Baku- Budapest
governments for the crime they committed.
`Such conspiracies should not be tolerated and they should have their
equivalent international consequences. Hungary's ideas of legality,
which the country displayed, are totally incompatible with the
fundamental values of the European Union' said the President of the
CCAG Azat Ordukhanyan in the press release.
The Board of the CCAG finds that with this step Hungary not only
openly betrayed the European values and damaged the reputation of the
European Union, but also rose on the appalling as well as dangerous
stage of clearly supporting terrorism. The Board regrets that this
scandal, as a shameful stigma, will be written on facade of the
Hungarian government building.
The CCAG once again reminds the European governments that by
justifying and idolizing a murderer who `chopped off' a sleeping man,
the Azeri authorities and public openly put the emphasis of their
policy on advocating Armenia-phobia and anti-Armenian principles. They
are not even concerned of international condemnations when killing
Armenians in the capitals of Europe. They reaffirm the simple truth
stated by the nation of Artsakh for decades: the only warrant for the
security of their life and property is the international recognition
of the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh. This will serve as a minimum
barrier against the constant Azeri threat and will assure sustainable
development for the people living there.
The Central Council of Armenia in Germany calls all the Armenian
communities, organizations as well as individuals to make protests in
front of the Hungarian Embassy in Berlin as well as in front of all
Hungarian diplomatic institutions in other cities of Germany.
