Yerevan, September 6. /Mediamax/. Azerbaijan presented a diplomatic
note to Hungary which says that Ramil Safarov was pardoned according
to the international law and national legislation.
Azerbaijani MFA Spokesman Elman Abdulaev said this today, Trend
reported.
This is another proof that tensions are growing between Hungary
and Azerbaijan.
Let us recall that on September 5 Mediamax's source at the OSCE
Secretariat in Vienna informed that Hungary discusses the issue of
suspending diplomatic relations with Azerbaijan. According to the
source, the issue was discussed at the meeting of a member of the
Hungarian mission to OSCE with an American official over a working
lunch.
Budapest hasn't made the final decision, but Hungarian diplomat told
his U.S. colleague that suspending the relations with Azerbaijan is
seen as an option to overcome the difficult situation that has aroused
after Hungary's decision to transfer the murderer of Armenian officer
to Baku where he was immediately pardoned and glorified. Besides,
such a decision could become a symbolic message for recovering
relations with Armenia, which suspended diplomatic relations with
Budapest after the decision to extradite Ramil Safarov.
Reacting to this report Ambassador of Azerbaijan to Budapest Vilayat
Guliyev violated the common diplomatic practice and made a statement
September 5 on behalf of the Foreign Ministry of Hungary
Vilayat Guliyev said that "the Foreign Ministry of Hungary described
as absurd the report that Budapest discusses suspension of diplomatic
relations with Baku".
According to Guliyev, he met with Deputy Director of the Department
for Eastern Europe, South Caucasus and Central Asia of Hungarian
Foreign Ministry, Erne Keshneni, who has allegedly described these
reports as absurd.
In fact, Vilayat Guliyev's urgent statement may prove the credibility
of the information provided by Mediamax's source.
