BUDAPEST. – The Armenian community of Hungary fully supports the decision of the decision of the Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan to suspend diplomatic relations with Hungary, although, the community will suffer the most, Vice Chairman of the “Armenian National Autonomy of Hungary” Nikoghos Hakobyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

According to him, Hungarian society is shocked by the decision of the Hungarian government regarding the Azerbaijani murderer Ramil Safarov’s extradition to Baku and his immediate release.

In response to how the Hungarian government reacts to Azerbaijan’s statements that the latter is not going to make investments in Hungary, Hakobyan said that the authorities are well aware about it, but it changes nothing.

As for the actions by Armenia and the Armenian Diaspora in achieving justice, Hakobyan believes that the issue is too difficult to settle at the moment.

Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier that Ramil Safarov, a lieutenant in the Azerbaijani military, was extradited on August 31 from Hungary, where he was serving a life sentence - and with no expression of either regret or remorse - for the premeditated axe murder of Armenian lieutenant Gurgen Margaryan, in his sleep, during a NATO Partnership for Peace program in Budapest back in 2004.

As expected, Ramil Safarov’s return to Baku was welcomed, as was his act of murder, by the officials of Azerbaijani president’s administration and much of Azerbaijani society, and the Azerbaijani president immediately granted him a pardon.

Armenia’s President Serzh Sargsyan announced on August 31 that Armenia is suspending its diplomatic ties with Hungary.
