The Hungarian authorities have strengthened protection of the Azerbaijani Embassy in order to prevent the possibility of action against the embassy after pardon of the Azerbaijani officer Ramil Safarov sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of an Armenian officer in the Hungarian capital.
According to the Echo of Moscow, the European Union is concerned about reports of clemency for Safarov. Brussels believes that all this could have serious consequences for the whole region.
Hungary protested Azerbaijan in connection with the decision to pardon Ramil Safarov, who served a life sentence in Hungary for the murder of an Armenian officer, whom he hacked to death.
Hungary handed him over to the Azerbaijani authorities under the Convention, signed both by Budapest and Baku, under which prisoners can serve their sentences in their home countries. However, immediately upon the arrival of Safarov in Azerbaijan, he was pardoned by President Aliyev.
The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Hungary told the Ambassador of Azerbaijan that Budapest "considers unacceptable and condemns the pardon for Safarov."
The Armenian Diaspora began protests and threatened to punish Azerbaijanis for the Safarov pardon and to hold rallies in front of the Embassies of Azerbaijan worldwide. -02D-
