First of all let's have courage to accept that the other reason for
our disappointment and anger is also our government's mistake
concerning Ramil Safarov's extradition, deputy of the Armenian
parliament from the Prosperous Armenia Party, ex-foreign minister of
Armenia, Vardan Oskanian, said in the parliament today when
commenting on the bargain between Hungary and Azerbaijan on Safarov's
extradition.
"I want to stress that Hungary's decision to extradite Azerbaijani
officer, Ramil Safarov, was disgusting from both moral and legal
aspects. From a moral point of view, Hungary was to consult with the
Armenian side, let alone the centuries-old friendship between the two
countries, the existence of the Armenian community in Hungary,
Armenia's contribution to the struggle for the liberation of Hungary,
etc", - he said and added that the Armenian side has done a lot of
mistakes too.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and National Security Service have
stumbled in their work. There cannot be two opinions in this issue
either. The fact is that everybody was aware of the pending
extradition two weeks before Hungary made the decision. Both the
Armenian community in Hungary and Armenian NGOs had warned about the
possible extradition but to no avail. They all met complete
indifference in Armenia", -Oskanian said.
He thinks that Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's reaction at the
event was really rather resolute and courageous. However, such
resoluteness should be demonstrated several days before extraditionas
in that case Safarov would not be released and honored, he said.
