YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 4, ARMENPRESS: Prime Minister Viktor Orban
emphasised on Monday that Hungary complied with international
regulations regarding Ramil Sahib Safarov's transfer to Azerbaijan. He
added that the rules of international law are shaped openly and not
on the basis of secret agreements. AS Armenpress reports citing
XPATLOOP.com, regarding the sudden and unexpected release of
Safarov by Azeri authorities on Friday, the Hungarian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Public Administration and Justice
released a joint statement emphasising that Safarov's transfer was
prepared and carried out by Hungary transparently and in accordance
with international law. Hungary expects the same approach from its
international partners the statement added, also underlining the
country's profound respect for Armenia. Following the international
outcry of Armenians, Parliamentary State Secretary of the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs Zsolt Nemeth asked Vilayat Guliyev, Azerbaijan's
Ambassador to Hungary to his office to inform him about the position
of the Hungarian Government and handed over a diplomatic note to the
Ambassador. The diplomatic note stated that Azerbaijan's actions were
in sharp contrast with the assurance received earlier from the Deputy
Minister of Justice of the Republic of Azerbaijan in his letter of 15
August 2012, addressed to the Ministry of Public Administration and
Justice of Hungary. In this letter the Republic of Azerbaijan, quoting
the relevant international Convention, undertook that the sentenced
person will serve the remaining part of his prison sentence in the
Republic of Azerbaijan and may be released on conditional parole
only after he has served at least 25 years of his sentence. State
Secretary for Foreign Affairs and External Economic Relations Peter
Szijjarto in several television and radio interviews informed the
public that every aspect of the transfer was in accordance with the
1983 Strasbourg Convention and was a transparent procedure. He denied
every allegation indicating that the case was influenced by energy
relations between Hungary and Azerbaijan.
