Hungarian MP: no ethnic Hungarian should fight for Poroshenko
Of Ukraine, told the newspaper the deputy chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Hungarian Parliament, deputy head of the nationalist Jobbik faction Marton Gyöngyos.
Correspondent: “Mr. Gyöngyösi, you call for the fact that ethnic Hungarians should not serve in the army of Ukraine. But doesn’t Ukraine as a sovereign state have the right to determine who, when and in what quantity should serve in its army? ”
MP: “If we analyze the crisis in Ukraine from the very beginning, from the moment when President Yanukovych refused to sign an association agreement with the EU in November 2013, we’ll see that Ukraine is facing a geopolitical war between the West - on the one hand, and Russia - other.
What happened on Independence, carefully planned by the West. With the help of various NGOs, propaganda of the media and other public organizations, they managed to deprive Yanukovich of power in Ukraine. Now we see that Poroshenko’s government has a large number of foreigners and people with dual citizenship who are pursuing the interests of the United States and the West. The war that President Poroshenko began is in the interests of the United States only, but not in the interests of any European country. ”
Correspondent: “Sorry, you did not answer the question. Yet why do you think that in this case the ethnic principle is more important than the principle of citizenship? After all, Ukraine calls its citizens, not the citizens of Hungary. What does it matter who they are from an ethnic point of view? ”
MP: “Poroshenko keeps the Hungarian minority living in the West of Ukraine in captivity and forces them to fight in the chauvinistic goals of the Ukrainian government. Hungarians in Transcarpathia have no interest in this conflict generated by the West.
Poroshenko must end this conflict, beginning the process of decentralization of Ukraine. It should give wide autonomy to all nationalities living in Ukraine - including the Russians in the South-East, as well as to the Hungarians in the West.
This war turned European countries against Russia. The EU imposed economic sanctions against Russia, and also began to provide military assistance to Ukraine. It may not be in our interest. We have to give it up. ”
Correspondent: “Is it possible to say that the parliamentary forces of Hungary were united in their opposition to the mobilization of ethnic Hungarians in the Armed Forces of Ukraine?”
MP: “In fact, Jobbik is the only Hungarian party that has clearly expressed its position regarding the Hungarians living in the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine. We unequivocally advocate that not a single Hungarian should be drafted into the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This is not our war. Not one Hungarian should fight for Poroshenko.
As for the position of other Hungarian political forces, I note: the President of the Transcarpathian Hungarian Cultural Association Laszlo Brenzovich, the Hungarian Foreign Minister, and the Prime Minister stated that the call of the Hungarians in the Ukrainian Armed Forces should not be disproportionate. That is, it turns out that for them the proportional call of the Hungarians in the Armed Forces of Ukraine is normal. For us, this is absolutely unacceptable. We believe that the army of Ukraine is fighting against its own people. "
Correspondent: “Not only traditional critics of the EU line, but also the liberal party LMP, which traditionally stands for close ties with the EU and NATO, expressed their protests. How can you comment on this? "
MP: “The LMP is a Euro-Atlantic party. They advocate the geopolitical interests of the atlantists. We have never heard them speak out for autonomy for the Hungarians of Transcarpathia. This party has a bright anti-Russian policy. They have repeatedly expressed the point of view that Russia invaded the territory of Ukraine, etc.
But if the LMP has changed its position and opposes the mobilization of the Hungarians in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, then we can only welcome this decision. I hope that this also means that this party has managed to finally understand the true nature of the crisis in Ukraine. It is also the fact that the Ukrainian government works in the geopolitical interests of the United States. And everything Poroshenko does goes against the interests of Ukraine and the people of this country. ”
