/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "According to the Hungarian Constitution, Armenians
represent a national minority, which exercises constitutional rights
provided by the law," the RA Ambassador to Hungary, Austria, Czechia
and Slovakia, Ashot Hovakimian told a news conference in Yerevan.
"In Hungary, this status is granted to traditional communities living
in the country over 300-400 years.
Armenians have lived in Hungary for over 500 years.
They have elective self-government councils.
Meanwhile, there is no Azeri community in Hungary, Austria, Czechia
or Slovakia. The Azerbaijani Embassy is attempting to create a such,
however, in vain," Ambassador Hovakimian said.
For his part, Armenian Ambassador to Bulgaria, Sergei Manasarian said
there is not such a notion as "Azeri community" in Bulgaria. "There
is a Turkish community, which numbers 600-800 thousand people. The
number of Armenians reaches 30 thousand only. I should stress that
we are not at odds. The problem is that unlike the Turkish community,
the Armenian one is not solidary enough.
