BUDAPEST. - Armenian National Autonomy of Hungary released a statement on the Azeri murderer release after Hungarian government returned the murderer to Azerbaijan.

“The Armenian National Autonomy of Hungary expressed its regret and shock after the immediate diplomatic ties suspension between Armenia and Hungary. We do not understand and cannot accept the explanations which, despite lots of promises to the Armenian side by the Hungarian justice bodies, neglecting the most important human and moral values, yielded to the Azerbaijani pressure and extradited the murderer.

We believe it was a disastrous professional error by the Hungarian authorities. We also demand that a case is instigated and a verdict cast against all those, regardless of their office and personality, calling for political or even criminal responsibility.

It is high time to explain the world, that a Christian country with 5,000 years of history should not be underestimated to a country which turns a coward murderer, who killed a human in his sleep, into a hero. We do believe that Artsakh [Nagorno-Karabakh] should be internationally recognized,” Vice Chairman of the “Armenian National Autonomy of Hungary” Nikoghos Hakobyan wrote, the Department of Armenian Communities of Europe at the Armenian Ministry of Diaspora reports.
