Budapest, we will not arrest Putin. Cpi, you are obliged

(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, MARCH 23 - Hungary would not arrest Vladimir Putin if he set foot on its territory.

This was stated by Gergely Gulyás, head of cabinet of the Hungarian premier, Viktor Orban, quoted by the local media.

Although Budapest has joined the International Criminal Court, he explained, the treaty "has not yet been promulgated" because it is "contrary to the Constitution".

   The arrest warrant, added Gulyàs, is "unfortunate" because it further hinders the end of the war.

But, according to an ICC spokesperson interviewed by ANSA, Hungary "ratified the treaty in 2001" and has "the obligation to cooperate with the Court in the framework of the Rome Statute".
