PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian National Autonomy of Hungary issued a
letter to Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan.
As the Autonomy stressed in the letter, since the murder of Armenian
lieutenant Gurgen Margaryan in 2004, the Autonomy took every effort
to promote fair punishment for Azeri assassin Ramil Safarov.
Following the opening of Azeri embassy in Hungary, the Autonomy always
kept Armenian Diaspora Ministry as well as Austria's Armenian embassy
aware of Azerbaijan's anti-Armenian actions.
"We repeatedly requested Armenia's Diaspora and Foreign Ministries to
open an embassy in Hungary in view of frequent conflicts with Azeri
side in the country. However, our requests were refused, with lack
of staff cited."
"On August 20, 11 days before Safarov's extradition to Azerbaijan, the
Autonomy's deputy chair Nikoghos Hakobyan informed Armenia's Foreign
Ministry and Austria's Armenian embassy about extradition plans,
requesting to take steps to prevent the decision. Unfortunately,
all of our efforts proved useless," the Autonomy said, demanding
explanation as to inactivity of the Armenian side.
"With Azeri lobby gaining the upper hand in Hungary, Armenia's
diplomatic involvement in the issue would have been crucial," the
statement said.
