Diplomatic relations between Armenia and Hungary have been frozen since 2012, after the then leadership of the country returned Ramil Safarov to Azerbaijan as a national "hero", who hacked to death with an ax the Armenian officer Gurgen Markaryan, who was taking military courses in Hungary.
10 years later, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan, within the framework of the 29th OSCE ministerial meeting, met with his Hungarian counterpart Peter Szijjarto, with whom an agreement was reached to restore full diplomatic relations. The parties expressed their intention to open a new chapter in Armenian-Hungarian relations based on mutual trust and respect for international law.
In May 2023, Armenia appointed Ashot Smbatyan as a non-resident ambassador to Hungary. And just recently, Hungary announced its intention to open its consulate in Armenia.
