The treatment of the Hungarians in Ukraine is unacceptable The news has reached the Hungarian ministry of foreign affairs that ethnic Hungarians living in Ukraine who are applying for their Hungarian citizenship are beeing harrased by the Ukrainian state security service. The KMK in Hungary says that the Hungarians are contacted by phone and by letter and they are asked to give their written statement about weather it is true or not that they have applied for their Hungarian citizenship. The organization therefore wrote two days ago an open letter where they called for the infringement of rights to be stopped. The Hungarian Ministry of Foreign affairs is orienting itself in this case, said János Martonyi, Minister of Foreign Affairs to the tv show “Az Este” at Hungarian MTV1.
Semjen Zsolt calls it unacceptable that the Ukrainian state security service is harrasing the Hungarian population of Zakkarpatia Oblas/Transcarpathia. The Vice-Minister responsible for the national security policies is awaiting the response of the Ukrainians to his letter.
