Baku: Hungarian Embassy in Azerbaijan is investigating the reports that
a group of Hungarian students guided by teacher on Armenian studies
Balint Kovacs visited Armenia, and then the occupied Nagorno Karabakh.
Hungarian ambassador to Azerbaijan Zsolt Csutora noted that this
information is more like false: 'Taking into account that diplomatic
relations between Armenia and Hungary have been cut, our embassies
do not operate, I think that it has been fabricated by the Armenian
press. Our embassy has sent a questionnaire to the relevant structures
of Hungary to verify the reports'.
The Ambassador added that the official website of the Hungarian
Foreign Ministry regularly posts information calling not to visit
Nagorno Karabakh: 'It is said that it is prohibited to visit these
territories without the permission of Baku'.
Armenian media reported that Hungarian students guided by Balint
Kovacs paid a 10-day trip to Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh. According
to the information, during this trip, Hungarian students met with
the Armenian students and said that the two nations had friendly
relations and that these relations must be continued. Kovacs called
Nagorno Karabakh an integral part of Armenian culture.
