A group of Armenian students has addressed a letter of Prime Minister
of Hungary Viktor Orban. The letter reads:
Dear Mr. Orban,
We are writing this letter to express our greatest frustration
and disappointment from the recent actions of Hungarian government
resulted by the extradition of Ramil Safarov (the Azerbaijani military
officer served a life sentence, with no expression of either regret or
remorse, for the premeditated axe murder of Armenian military officer
Gurgen Margaryan in his sleep during a NATO "Partnership for Peace"
program in 2004) to Azerbaijan, where he was immediately pardoned by
the President of the country and welcomed as a hero.
Should we - a group of Armenian students and our friends from
different countries, who have chosen Hungary among EU countries for
further education - infer from your Government's recent actions that
extraditing a brutal murderer to a country, which will consequently
welcome him as a hero, is considered to be among European values? Or
should we conclude that the model of European morality is the indirect
encouragement of new murders on the murder driven by ethnic hatred?
While our stay in Hungary we are going to follow Hungarian laws, so
we refer to you to get guarantees that our identity and our beliefs
will be respected in this country.
We look forward to your official response, which hopefully will not
be as disappointing as the recent action of your government.
