BUDAPEST. - Only the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Hungary
may resume suspended diplomatic relations with Armenia, head of the
Armenian National Autonomy of Hungary Nikoghos Hakobyan told Armenian
News-NEWS.am.
Commenting on the Hungarian FM Janos Martonyi's statement on
normalizing relations with Armenia and the role of the Armenian
community in Hungary, Hakobyan said that the Hungarian authorities
have turned to the community on this regard, but were rejected.
"As a matter of fact, the community was the one, which appeared in
the worst situation due to suspension of ties," Hakobyan claimed
adding now the community has activated steps towards the recognition
of the Armenian Genocide. "Only the recognition may resume relations
with Armenia."
Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier that Ramil Safarov, a lieutenant
in the Azerbaijani military, was extradited on August 31 from Hungary,
where he was serving a life sentence - and with no expression of
either regret or remorse - for the premeditated axe murder of Armenian
lieutenant Gurgen Margaryan, in his sleep, during a NATO Partnership
for Peace program in Budapest back in 2004. And Armenia's President
Serzh Sargsyan announced on August 31 that Armenia is suspending its
diplomatic ties with Hungary.
