Hungary
Hungary has nothing to fear in connection with the recent transfer
of the Azeri axe murderer, Ramil Sahib Safarov, back to his home
country - where he was pardoned by the president and released -
since it followed a legal procedure according to the requirements
of an international compact, Peter Szijjarto, the state secretary in
charge of foreign affairs at the prime minister's office, said Monday
television interviews.
The transfer, which has led to Armenia suspending diplomatic ties with
Hungary since one of its citizens, Gurgen Margaryan, was brutally
murdered by the Azeri, was carried out in a transparent way on
the basis of the Strasbourg Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced
Persons, and there has been no kind of cover-up, Szijjarto told public
television M1.
Asked about accusations that a backroom deal had been done between
Hungary and Azerbajjan, Szijjarto said such people were "fantasists",
and no such deal had been concluded.
In a separate interview, Szijjarto told commercial broadcaster TV2
that it would have been a real scandal had Hungary violated any kind
of international agreement.
Armenia decided to break diplomatic ties with Hungary, Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan said in Yerevan on Friday.
