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.
