The incident between Hungary and Armenia has not changed Hungary's position on Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Hungary's Ambassador to Azerbaijan Zsolt Csutora told APA.
The diplomatic relations between Hungary and Armenia have not been restored yet, he said and emphasized that Hungary is a country of friendship and wants to establish equal relations with all. "But no positive step has been taken yet. Suspension, disruption, restoration of the relations are determined through diplomatic channels," he said.
To recall, on August 31, 2012 the Armenian authorities adopted a decision to suspend diplomatic relations and official contacts with Hungary. President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan made public the decision at a special meeting with the heads of diplomatic missions on Friday after the Hungarian authorities extradited Azeri officer Ramil Safarov, who was sentenced by a Hungarian court to life in jail for killing sleeping Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan with an axe in Budapest in 2004. Both the officers were undergoing an English language course under the NATO PfP program. The same day after Safarov's extradition, Azeri President Ilham Aliyev decreed to pardon the criminal.
