President Sulyok: Transcarpathia is not alone

Emphasising that Hungary stands up for Hungarians, President Tamás Sulyok said on Thursday that Transcarpathia is not alone.

“I am certain that every decent person is deeply outraged by the vile attack on the Greek Catholic church in Palagy Komarivci (Palagykomoroc) and the incitement against Hungarians, regardless of their nationality,” the president said on Facebook.

President Sulyok said such actions were “unacceptable” not only in Europe, but anywhere else in the world.

“I call on the Ukrainian authorities to do everything in their power to prevent a repeat of such actions,” he said.

President Sulyok asked ethnic Hungarians in Transcarpathia to “keep their faith and not to forget that they are not alone”.

“Hungary will always stand by you,” the president added.
