    ARMENIA WITHDRAWS FROM INTERNATIONAL EVENTS AFTER AZERI OFFICER'S EXTRADITION

    Armenia

    Armenia has announced that it will withdraw from a number of
    international events following Hungary's extradition of an Azerbaijani
    officer who killed an Armenian colleague in 2004 and was pardoned
    by Baku on 31 August 2012, Yerevan-based Mediamax news agency has
    reported.

    Police

    The Armenian Police said it would discontinue a US-funded training
    programme for 10 Armenian police officers at the International Law
    Enforcement Academy in Budapest.

    "The Armenian police delegation cannot stay in a country that has
    rejected justice and made a deal with the Azerbaijani authorities,"
    Armenian Police Chief Vladimir Gasparyan said in a letter addressed to
    the US ambassador in Armenia, John Heffern, as the training programme
    is sponsored by the US embassy in Armenia.

    In a separate statement, the Armenian Police's media department
    announced withdrawal from a forthcoming Baku-hosted conference of
    CIS interior ministers.

    Defence Ministry

    In another report, Mediamax said the Armenian Defence Ministry had
    notified the chief of the NATO Military Cooperation Division about its
    decision to suspend its officers' participation in English language
    courses at the Budapest Language Centre of the Hungarian National
    Security Academy on 17-28 September.

    The Armenian Defence Ministry has also decided to freeze its
    "promising" cooperation with the Budapest NATO training centre in
    the field of military medicine, the report said.
