Yerevan. Armenian President Serzh Sarkisian called the protesters,
and especially the youths, not to burn more Hungarian flags,
Novosti-Armenia reported.
On September 1 angry Armenians burnt down a Hungarian flag in front
of the honorary consulate of Hungary in Yerevan, after Budapest
extradited Arzei murdered of an Armenian officer.
"I would like to address our society and especially the young people
and ask them not to burn Hungarian flags. The Hungarian flag does
not belong to the ruling Hungarian party, it is not the symbol of
the Hungarian prime minister," Sarkisian remarked, adding that the
Armenians and Hungarians had been having really good relations for
hundreds of years.
"Many sons of the Armenian nations sacrificed their lives for the
freedom and independence of Hungary. They used to occupy high-ranking
position and great achievements. The actions of a single person or
a single political party do not give enough grounds for animosity
between nations. Of course, we can stage protests, but we should not
betray ourselves and our values," the president said.
