Well, TBH I don't feel he attacked Islam, only extremists

 

Anyway, whatever the ambassador (who is leaving) said, the Dutch government already said they distanced themselves from it. So that should be that, unless some politician wants to continue and start a whole political fuss about nothing.

Where were you when Armenia cut the diplomacy with Hungary because Safarov could go home?

 

A quick read learns that sending Safarov to Azerbaijan, you know, the country of born liar and sicko Aliyev, was not exactly a smart move. Understandable that Armenia cut diplomacy because of it, but then again: why would anyone care? Even in Hungary or Armenia? Now there's no diplomatic relationship, oh no. The horror. 

 

Just like now, why would I, as an average Dutch person, care if Hungary cuts diplomacy? And the other way around, if it was a Hungarian ambassador who said something: why would you, an average Hungarian citizen (I guess), care if the Netherlands cuts diplomacy?

 

It's just media making a big deal of something that the common people don't care about :p

There is an international law for that step. And Hungary has a lot of Armenians. They were always honest to us! For example two of our thirteen martyr of Arad was Armenian. So Armenia overreacted it.

 

I agree. But some other people care about it. Sometimes...
