    Hungary

    Prime Minister Viktor Orban emphasised on Monday that Hungary complied
    with international regulations regarding Ramil Sahib Safarov's transfer
    to Azerbaijan. He added that the rules of international law are shaped
    openly and not on the basis of secret agreements.

    Regarding the sudden and unexpected release of Safarov by Azeri
    authorities on Friday, the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
    and Ministry of Public Administration and Justice released a joint
    statement emphasising that Safarov's transfer was prepared and carried
    out by Hungary transparently and in accordance with international law.

    Hungary expects the same approach from its international partners
    the statement added, also underlining the country's profound respect
    for Armenia.

    Following the international outcry of Armenians, Parliamentary State
    Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Zsolt Nemeth asked
    Vilayat Guliyev, Azerbaijan's Ambassador to Hungary to his office to
    inform him about the position of the Hungarian Government and handed
    over a diplomatic note to the Ambassador. The diplomatic note stated
    that Azerbaijan's actions were in sharp contrast with the assurance
    received earlier from the Deputy Minister of Justice of the Republic of
    Azerbaijan in his letter of 15 August 2012, addressed to the Ministry
    of Public Administration and Justice of Hungary. In this letter the
    Republic of Azerbaijan, quoting the relevant international Convention,
    undertook that the sentenced person will serve the remaining part of
    his prison sentence in the Republic of Azerbaijan and may be released
    on conditional parole only after he has served at least 25 years of
    his sentence.

    State Secretary for Foreign Affairs and External Economic Relations
    Peter Szijjarto in several television and radio interviews informed
    the public that every aspect of the transfer was in accordance with
    the 1983 Strasbourg Convention and was a transparent procedure. He
    denied every allegation indicating that the case was influenced by
    energy relations between Hungary and Azerbaijan.
