Eduard Nalbandyan: Armenia expects certain steps from Hungary to regulate relations
YEREVAN, APRIL 17, ARMENPRESS: The Republic of Armenia is ready to regulate the relations with Hungary if the latter makes corresponding steps. This was reported by the Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia Eduard Nalbandyan at the joint press conference held on April 17 with the Secretary General of the European Council Thorbjørn Jagland. “Armenia is always ready to normalize the relations with Hungary but in its turn Hungary should make corresponding steps”, - said Eduard Nalbandyan, according to Armenpress.
On February 19 2004 in Budapest Azerbaijani assassin Ramil Safarov, who axe-murdered Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan while sleeping, when they were participating in NATO English Language Courses in the capital of Hungary, was sentenced to life imprisonment without right to be pardoned for 30 years.
On August 31 2012 Safarov was extradited from Hungary to Azerbaijan and was pardoned by the President Ilham Aliyev. The murderer was advanced to mayor, provided with an apartment and granted «national hero». Armenia suspended diplomatic relations and all official ties with Hungary. This step of Azerbaijan emerged the criticism of the international community.
By the decree of the President of the Republic of Armenia a working group was established on the international appeal against the pardoning of Safarov.

I hadn't heard of this case. Terrible.....But normal coming from the autocratic corrupt regime of the Aliyev family.
I wonder what the guys in Baku will now do....their oil boom is bound to end this year.
