YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 26, ARMENPRESS: The Republic of Armenia expects
clear and practical steps from Hungary. This was reported to Armenpress
by the Spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of
Armenia Tigran Balayan, commenting on the note, sent by the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs of Hungary on renewal of the diplomatic relations. "The
position of the Armenian side remains unchanged. As it has been
recently announced, Armenia expects practical steps from Hungary",
- said the Spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia.
The diplomatic note dates back September 24. "The Ministry of Hungary
wishes to declare the interest of the Government of Hungary to end
the unilateral suspension of diplomatic relations by the Republic of
Armenia without preconditions. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of
Hungary avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia the assurance of its
highest consideration", - says the note.
On August 31 2012 Armenia suspended its diplomatic relations with
Hungary after the Hungarian Government extradited the Azerbaijani
assassin Ramil Safarov to Azerbaijan, who axe-murdered Armenian officer
Gurgen Margaryan while sleeping on February 19 2004 in Budapest,
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. Safarov was pardoned by the President
Ilham Aliyev. The murderer was advanced to mayor, provided with an
apartment and given "national hero".
