YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 18, ARMENPRESS: The Hungarian opposition arouse a
"Safarov" scandal in the country. It is accepted as well even at the
Government of Viktor Orban, which implemented the Hungarian-Azerbaijani
criminal deal. The Spokesman of the Hungarian Government Giro Andras
gave an interview on the Safarov's issue, during which he answered the
journalists' questions with some reserves and sometimes even avoided
the questions on the Hungarian Government's guilt in extradition of
the Azerbaijani assassin to Azerbaijan.
As reported by Armenpress, quoting the Hungarian nol.hu website, to the
observation, that the Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orban confessed
that the Safarov's extradition was implemented by his decree, the
Spokesman of the Hungarian Government answered: "I understand why you
raise this question. The announcements spread by the opposition should
have influenced on the Safarov's scandal. I should say that in case of
a general decision adopted by the Government, correspondent ministries
present corresponding legal opinions and then the Government makes
it decree, which generally depends on the Prime Minister's position".
"After the Azerbaijan's written guarantees, when the extradition was
implemented, does it happen to be that the Azerbaijani Government
lied to the Hungarian Government?" To the journalist's question Giro
Andras answered that the diplomacy within the framework of this action
is obviously on another platform. To the question did not Azerbaijan
buy state bonds from Hungary, Andras answered that there was not even
talks on that and it did not correspond to the reality.
During the interview the Spokesman of the Hungarian Government Giro
Andras once again stated that in the extradition processes Hungary
acted in correspondence with the international rights norms.
On February 19 2004 in Budapest Azerbaijani assassin Ramil Safarov,
who axe-murdered Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan while sleeping,
when they were participating in NATO English Language Courses in the
capital of Hungary, was sentenced to life imprisonment without right
to be pardoned for 30 years. On August 31 2012 Safarov was extradited
from Hungary to Azerbaijan and was pardoned by the President Ilham
Aliyev. The murderer was advanced to mayor, provided with an apartment
and given "national hero" and compensated for the 8 years of the
imprisonment in Hungary. Armenia suspended diplomatic relations
with Hungary.
