Bishop Peter Gancs, Presiding Bishop of the Lutheran Church in Hungary
and Bishop Gusztav Bolcskei Ministerial President of the Synod of the
Reformed Church in Hungary, sent a letter to His Holiness Karekin II,
Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians, expressing their
regrets and solidarity with the Armenian people to His Holiness for
the recent actions by the government of Azerbaijan.
The letter reads:
"On behalf of the Protestant communities in Hungary, please accept
our sincere sympathy on the unacceptable amnesty given to the Azeri
criminal who was extradited from Hungary to his homeland Azerbaijan.
While we cannot question that the Hungarian authorities acted in
accordance with the applicable international law, we regret that
the extradition resulted in the intolerable amnesty granted to the
convict by the President of Azerbaijan.
We believe that it is God only who rightly judges all of us and
that it is before Him that we all have to stand one day. However,
authority and responsibility to serve and protect the society as a
whole has been granted to the state, thus, to let criminals to enjoy
freedom is against the order of God.
We fully understand the anger of Armenian people over this
reprehensible act of amnesty, and express our solidarity on behalf
of our people. We pray that justice will be done and peace and
understanding will abide between our nations."
