    The president of the Hungarian Catholic Bishops' Conference, Card.

    Peter Erdo, issued a statement expressing "full solidarity with the
    Armenian Christians and with the Armenian people that has so much
    suffered in the past."

    "We ask the Almighty that through the intercession of the Blessed
    Virgin Mary He might lead and protect the whole Armenian people and
    bless them with the gift of justice and peace," read the statement.

    According to Hungarian mass media, Hungarian activists are planning
    to hold demonstrations this week under the slogan "Sorry, Armenia!"

    "This mistake has to be rectified by us, Hungarians!" wrote one.

    "Today, I am ashamed of being a Hungarian," wrote another. "I apologize
    to all Armenians, and particularly to the family of Gurgen Margaryan,"
    said a third.

    Politicians, religious leaders, and activists in Hungary issued
    statements apologizing to Armenians and criticizing the extradition.

    They echoed the sentiments of tens of thousands of Hungarians outraged
    by their government's decision to extradite Margaryan's murderer,
    Ramil Safarov, to his home country Azerbaijan, where he received a
    hero's welcome, was pardoned, and promoted.
