YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 12, ARMENPRESS: Hungary can expiate its guilt of extraditing the Azerbaijani perpetrator Ramil Safarov to Azerbaijan by recognizing the independence of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. This was stated by the Director of “Noravank” Foundation, Information Technologies expert Gagik Harutyunyan at the press conference held on September 12. According to him, the events, subsequent to the release of the Azerbaijani assassin, opened a new page in the history of Armenia. “This step has a genocide element in itself. We did not expect such a step from Hungary, but Azerbaijan’s actions were not a surprise for us”, - mentioned Harutyunyan.

As reported by Armenpress, Gagik Harutyunyan announced that the latest events have considerably complicated the negotiations process. “At the same time it is obvious that the negotiations process should be maintained, as it is in our best interests as well”, - said Harutyunyan adding that after cynical actions of Hungary we should not forgive it so soon and reconcile with the Hungarian government. “Let it be a lesson for us, so that we would not believe every word uttered from any tribune”, - he said. Armenia does not have a problem with Hungary, for which we should reconcile so soon.

The suspended negotiations, according to Harutyunyan, nevertheless, will not be restored soon, as it is a difficult process. In this issue quite important is the people’s disposition.

To the Russia’s reaction Gagik Harutyunyan treats coolly. He thinks that one should not have any illusions, though, nevertheless, he is certain that Russia did not let the issue without attention. “This is a political decision, with which Russia tried to disperse the tension and maintain amity both with Armenia and Hungary”, - said the Director of “Noravank” Foundation.
