Hungary, Azerbaijan Expand Trade Relations

BAKU—Three months after extraditing axe-murderer Ramil Safarov to Azerbaijan, where he was pardoned and pronounced a national hero, Hungary opened its first ever trade office in Baku earlier this month in hopes of advancing economic relations with the very government that applauds ethnically motivated murder.

Safarov, who was serving a sentence in Budapest for murdering an Armenian officer Gurgen Hayrapetian in 2004 during a NATO Partnership for Peace program, was promoted in the Azeri Army. The White House, Brussels and other international entities condemned the extradition and the subsequent pardon of the axe-murderer.

“The trading house was established in Azerbaijan as the two countries are strategic partners,” said Peter Szijjarto, Hungary’s foreign minister during the opening ceremony of the office, reported AzerNews.

He said the first reason of opening the House in Baku is the strategic cooperation between the two countries and the second is compliance of the supply for the Hungarian economy with Azerbaijan’s demand.

Szijjarto said one of the major goals of the event was to develop cooperation between Azerbaijan and medium-sized businesses from Hungary, which is required to further export their products to Azerbaijan.

A Hungarian delegation headed by Szijjarto, which consisted of economic, banking and tourism sectors’ representatives, took part in an Azerbaijani-Hungarian business forum on the same day.

Azerbaijani Economic Development Minister Shahin Mustafayev told the business forum that political relations between Azerbaijan and Hungary are at a high level and there is potential for their further development, which is confirmed by numerous visits and meetings.

Mustafayev said that the two countries have signed some 30 documents, which creates favorable conditions for the development of Azerbaijani-Hungarian economic relations, noting that they have the potential for developing cooperation in investment, construction, pharmaceuticals and other fields.

“The government support for businessmen looking to cooperate with Hungarian companies is being guaranteed,” Mustafayev said. “There is also the necessary legal framework.”

Szijjarto told the press that Hungary considers Azerbaijan as a guarantor of Europe’s energy security.

He said the Hungarian side was interested in implementing the Nabucco gas pipeline project and Azerbaijani gas supplies to central Europe via this route.

The Nabucco project is a priority route for delivering Caspian and in particular, Azerbaijani gas to south-east and central Europe and one of the main and important elements in ensuring European energy security.

Szijjarto also noted that Hungary hopes to operate direct flights to Azerbaijan.

According to Szijjarto, the issue of running a direct flight from Baku to Budapest is on the agenda and being discussed with the Azerbaijani Ministry of Economic Development.

“It would be a great advantage and a step [forward] in the development of economic relations between the two countries,” Szijjarto said.

    I wouldn’t call it moral corruption on Azeris side, as being Turkish morals is not a term they actually know. And I don’t say this because I dislike them as a people, which I do, I dare to say it after reading a book or two on history and finding nothing to contradict that idea. In fact, I find only support for it.

    And I wouldn’t call it moral corruption on Hungarians (or Europeans for that matter) side either, as it is first and foremost corruption in the narrower sense. Additionally, it is also lack of intellect, as you don’t have to be a Mathematics Professor to calculate for how long Azerbaijan can “guaranty for Europe’s energy security”. Now Hungary has a reputation for selling their women in Europe, both in terms of prostitution and porn, and while this is a cheap shot, I would now like to say that I just realized that prostitution is a national trait. On the other hand – with politicians making decisions, this is true everywhere. So in a sense the Hungarian people are exculpated.

    The Nabucco pipeline will NEVER , EVER go forward so long as Russia has anything to say about it thank God. The less money for Azerbaijan the better, but it doesnt matter, they hit peak oil 2 years ago, their oil exports are 10% down and projected to fall every year until completely falling below breakeven and their natural gas reserves are only 10 years away from peak. With NO new major discovery of potential reserves and an economy based entirely (95%) on oil exports, they are in a heap of trouble when their oil runs out. THEN we will see how many nations will support them. Armenians will have the last laugh, we always do, why?? Because we like the Jews are EXCELLENT at playing the waiting game, maybe thats why we are so good at chess.

    Money talks and we should not be shocked. Do you think they would have stopped billions of $$$ worth businesse for one murdered Armenian soldier??? “The White House, Brussels and other international entities condemned the extradition and the subsequent pardon of the axe-murderer.” WOW that was a scary condemnation!!! In the past Europe closed its eyes when 1.5m Armenians were slaughtered. Great Britain that despicable nation gave to the Armenian fighters in Kars 2500 Canadian Ross rifles rejected by the British army because they used to get jammed quickly and become unusable. And so on…
    Our fate is decided by the big powers already and the incompetent clowns governing our nation have already assured a nice cosy retirement for themselves in tax haven countries.
    I hope one day we won’t become like the Assyrians…

    This should be a wake up call to Armenians, there are NO values or Intrn’l laws that can stand in front of OIL and $$$$$, ill faited help that the West is giving to Armenia is again a trap to open a breach between Russia and Armenia, the West is bankrupt financialy and morally, they would not hesitate to sacrifice Armenia and Armenians for Oil and $$$$$$$$, Mr.Nalbandian, the President Sarkissian, all other negotiaters and Politicians should be aware of this fact. Learn From ISRAEL, TRUST NO ONE.

    “Szijjarto told the press that Hungary considers Azerbaijan as a guarantor of Europe’s energy security”.
    How can Azerbaijan guaranty Uurope’s energy security, when the War is inevitable while Aleyev is president?
    Now, that, Armenia continue modernizing its forces with precision weaponry…, a war with azerbaijans’ use of petrodollars on antique weaponery (for every dolar he says spent on weapon, only 25 Cents worth of weapon he get, for a corrupt boy like him, 75 cents goes in his pocket.) will be short and sweet- NO MORE ENERGY FOR EUROPE. Unless, europe put’s a check on “Big Boy” Alyev

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Disability profiles supported in our website

    • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.

    • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
    • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

    1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
    3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
