Budapest, August 25 (MTI) – A memorial honouring Hungary’s 1956 anti-Soviet revolution will be erected in Manhattan, Ferenc Kumin, Hungary’s consul general to New York, said on Thursday.

The monument, which will be placed beside the existing statue of Hungarian revolutionary Lajos Kossuth, will depict the constellations visible on October 23, 1956, Kumin told public news channel M1. He said there was a good chance that the memorial could be ready by the revolution’s 60th anniversary.

Preparations and fundraising for the memorial have been ongoing for ten years but now all the necessary permits have been obtained, he added.
