YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 5, ARMENPRESS: Armenia considers that there is
no need for a negotiator in relations with Hungary. Press secretary
of Ministry of Foreign Affairs Tigran Balayan, commenting on the
suggestion of Switzerland, which Hungary has accepted, mentioned
,,there is no need for umpire, we need definite actions from Hungarian
authorities” reports Armenpress.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Janos Martonyi declared on September 5
that it was “extremely regrettable, unacceptable and condemnable”
that the government of Azerbaijan had not kept its promise not to
release Ramil Safarov, an Azeri officer who received a life sentence
in Hungary for killing an Armenian soldier” reports Armenpress citing
politics.hu. Hungarian Foreign Affair’s Minister highlighted that
they had acted within the international norms that their action had
nothing to do with economic context.
Speaking about his visit to Switzerland Janos Martonyi noted that
his colleague Dider Burkhalter had offered his country’s help in the
settlement of relations between Hungary and Armenia.
Armenia suspended diplomatic relations with Hungary on August 31 when
life-sentenced perpetrator Ramil Safarov was extradited and pardoned
in Azerbaijani. Safarov hacked to death Armenian serviceman Gurgen
Margaryan during NATO’s training in Budapest.
