Peace Dialogue the Armenia based NGO just published my photos on their English and Armenian language website about the Budapest protest against Ramil Safarov extradition. Hope the Armenian society will get the message, that Hungarian civil society has nothing to do with this case. That was a wrong decision of the Hungarian government.

Budapest protest against Ramil Safarov extradition
I took these photos late afternoon,
while thousand of Hungarian gathered together with Armenians in front of the
parliament building in Budapest, expressing outrage at their government’s
decision to extradite axe-murderer Safarov to his home country Azerbaijan,
where he received a hero’s welcome, was pardoned and promoted.
The story has prompted one of
Central Europe’s biggest diplomatic storms. A few days ago protest rallies have
been held in Armenia’s capital with burning of Hungarian flag. For now Yerevan has
cut diplomatic ties with Hungary. Armenia has warned Azerbaijan is ready for
war.
Safarov murdered Gurgen Margarian,
an Armenian lieutenant with an axe, while the latter was asleep in 2004.
