All entrepreneur-MPs of Armenia should withdraw from their mandates
for the sake of sustainable development of Armenia's economy, Bagrat
Asatryan, sociologist, ex-chairman of the Central Bank of Armenia,
said at today's press conference in Yerevan.
He said that Georgia, which was behind Armenia by all parameters not
long ago, has gathered pace in development and outstripped Armenia in
some spheres. The expert thinks that the key reason of that is the
political culture of Georgians, which contributed to the country's
progress in all directions. In this context, he pointed out that
the authorities and the public of Armenia should first of all be
self-rigorous.
As regards the extradition of the Azeri axe-murderer Ramil Safarov, he
stressed that the authorities of Hungary displayed their indifference
towards the Armenian state, and Azerbaijan once again chuckled at
the authorities of Armenia.
For his part, Manvel Badeyan, MP from the Republican Party of Armenia,
said that both Hungarian and Azeri authorities are criminals, as
official Budapest permitted the extradition and Baku pardoned the
scoundrel, so, it is irrelevant to criticize the Armenian Foreign
Ministry for the mistake of others. He also agrees with Armenian
President's position on suspension of the diplomatic relations with
Budapest.
To note, Safarov's extradition caused a wide public response.
Armenians worldwide hold protest actions in front of the Hungarian
embassies. The Hungarian Foreign Ministry states that its actions were
in line with international standards. Official Yerevan has suspended
the diplomatic relations with Hungary, however, Switzerland suggested
being a mediator in the process of reconciliation of the two countries.
