Yerevan/Mediamax/. Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian stated
today that "the statements made by Hungary and Azerbaijan aren't
less shocking than the deal on Ramil Safarov's extradition concluded
between the countries".
Answering Mediamax's question at a joint press conference with his
counterpart from Luxembourg, Edward Nalbandian said today that "the
Hungarian side tries to justify its actions".
"Hungary states that the process was transparent whereas the senior
officials of Azerbaijan say that secret negotiations have been held.
The Hungarian side says that it didn't know Azerbaijan would pardon
Safarov while Azerbaijan claims the opposite. Hungary sent notes to
the embassies accredited in Budapest where it states its indignation
over Safarov's pardon but the letter is concluded with the sentence:
"As before, we are committed to development of our relations with
Azerbaijan on the basis of mutual trust". Hungary says the decision
on Safarov's transfer was made within the Strasburg Convention and
the PACE Chairman stated that the agreement abuses especially this
convention ", said the Armenian Foreign Minister.
