    LEBANESE ARMENIANS PROTEST HUNGARY'S EXTRADITION OF CONVICTED KILLER

    Members of the youth wings of the three Armenian political parties in
    Lebanon held a sit-in Thursday in front of the Hungarian embassy in
    Sanayeh, Beirut, to protest Hungary's extradition of a lieutenant in
    the Azerbaijani military to his country, after he served eight years
    of a life sentence for killing an Armenian serviceman in Budapest,
    the Daily Star reported.

    Officials representing the three parties met with the Hungarian
    Ambassador and handed him a memo protesting his government's decision.

    "The brutal murderer has been treated like a national hero since
    returning to Azerbaijan. This is a blatant violation of international
    justice and the rule of law in a clear case of homicide," the letter
    read.

    Protesters held aloft banners denouncing Hungary's decision, which
    they said encourages Azerbaijani hatred of Armenians and violates
    international law.
