Members of the youth wings of the three Armenian political parties in
Lebanon held a sit-in Thursday in front of the Hungarian embassy in
Sanayeh, Beirut, to protest Hungary’s extradition of a lieutenant in
the Azerbaijani military to his country, after he served eight years
of a life sentence for killing an Armenian serviceman in Budapest,
the Daily Star reported.

Officials representing the three parties met with the Hungarian
Ambassador and handed him a memo protesting his government’s decision.

“The brutal murderer has been treated like a national hero since
returning to Azerbaijan. This is a blatant violation of international
justice and the rule of law in a clear case of homicide,” the letter
read.

Protesters held aloft banners denouncing Hungary’s decision, which
they said encourages Azerbaijani hatred of Armenians and violates
international law.
