    JUSTICE MINISTER: ASSASSIN EXTRADITION A SLAP INTO HUNGARY'S FACE

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Justice Minister Hrayr Tovmasyan reacted
    to Hungary's decision to extradite Azeri assassin Ramil Safarov.

    "The fact of extradition caused indignation and disappointment.

    European values are human values and they advocate humanity. Thus,
    the 1983 Strasbourg Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons
    supposes extradition of convicts. However, justice and punishment
    for a crime should never be undervalued," Tovmasyan said.

    "Extradition of a criminal to a country, where his crime is treated
    as a feat is a slap into Hungary's face," he said.

    "Basing on the above said as well as on the statement by Armenia's
    President Serzh Sargsyan, the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of
    Armenia severs relations with the Ministry of Public Administration
    and Justice of Hungary," the Minister said.
