    ETHNIC ARMENIANS INQUIRE ABOUT HUNGARIAN GOV'T STEPS CONCERNING REPATRIATED AZERI MURDERER

    10:05 03.09.2013

    Armenia, Hungary, Ramil Safarov

    The self-government of ethnic Armenians in Hungary has asked Justice
    Minister Tibor Navracsics in a public letter whether Hungary had
    turned to any international forum since the repatriation of Azeri
    officer Ramil Safarov a year ago, politics.hu reports.

    Safarov, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for killing an Armenian
    in Budapest in 2004, was transferred back to his home country on
    August 31, 2012 under an extradition agreement. Although Azerbaijan
    formally pledged that the life sentence handed down to him in Hungary
    would be directly continued when he was returned to his homeland,
    the Azerbaijani president granted him clemency.

    Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan announced the same day that Armenia
    suspended diplomatic relations with Hungary.

    Two days later State Secretary of Foreign Affairs Zsolt Nemeth summoned
    the Azerbaijani ambassador to his office and condemned the Azerbaijani
    step as unacceptable to Hungary in a diplomatic note.

    In the public letter, the Armenian self-government noted that Safarov
    had committed a premeditated murder for a base reason, calling his
    brutal act "a continuation of the Armenian genocide".

    "God's fifth commandment - 'You shall not murder' - became weightless
    in Budapest in August 2012 when the government favoured Azerbaijan
    because of 'national interests'," the letter added.

    The self-government asked if Hungary had turned to international
    forums with a complaint about Azerbaijan's action and what measures
    the government was going to take to enforce the law.

    It is to be feared that, with the diplomatic note, the government
    considered the affair settled, the Armenian self-government said.
