Armenia has warned its neighbor and traditional enemy Azerbaijan that it's ready for war if it has to fight one. President Serzh Sarkisyan made a statement after Azerbaijan gave a hero's welcome to an Azeri officer who'd served eight years in a Hungarian jail forhackingan Armenian colleague to death during Nato language course in Hungary. Budapest sent him back to Azerbaijan last week to serve the rest of his sentence there. But Azerbaijan pardoned him, promoted him and paid him eight years back wages.

亚美尼亚警告邻国和宿敌阿塞拜疆说，如果有必要，将做好迎战的战备。总统谢尔日·萨尔基相发表这个声明，是因为一名在匈牙利上北约语言课程时杀死一名亚美尼亚同事并在匈牙利监狱服刑8年的阿塞拜疆官员在该国得到英雄般的欢迎。上周布达佩斯将此人送回阿塞拜疆继续服刑。但阿塞拜疆宽恕了他，还提拔他，付给他8年的工资。
