Hungarian Activists to hold demonstrations this weekThis is a very amazing development, and the citizenry of Hungary who recognize the evils involved here should be commended for speaking up. I sure hope they feel the same way about any discrimination and cowardice their government's committed against Israel too, and with any luck, we'll learn to that effect in the future.
“This mistake has to be rectified by us, Hungarians!” wrote one. “Today, I am ashamed of being a Hungarian,” wrote another. “I apologize to all Armenians, and particularly to the family of Gurgen Margaryan,” said a third.
They echoed the sentiments of tens of thousands of Hungarians outraged by their government’s decision to extradite Margaryan’s murderer, Ramil Safarov, to his home country Azerbaijan, where he received a hero’s welcome, was pardoned, and promoted.
In 2004, Safarov murdered Margaryan, an Armenian lieutenant, in Hungary with an axe, while the latter was asleep. He was sentenced to life in prison.
Politicians, religious leaders, and activists in Hungary commented on the extradition, apologizing to Armenians and criticizing the extradition. [...]
Various newspapers and blogs published articles denouncing the Hungarian government.
Demonstrations are planned for early this week in front of the Ministry of Justice and the Parliament of Hungary to express outrage at the decision to extradite Safarov.
Thousands of Hungarians joined Facebook groups apologizing for their government’s action. One such group, called “Sorry, Armenia,” had close to 8,000 “Likes” as of Sept. 2.
If the government of Hungary wants to apologize for their offensive cowardice, they should sever all contacts with Azerbaijan and stop trade with them too. A country that rewards jihadism as Azerbaijan's done needs to be shunned like the lepers they are.
