Orbán meets leaders of Syria’s largest protestant congregations

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Tuesday held talks with leaders of Syria’s largest protestant congregations Joseph Kassab, general secretary of the National Evangelical Synod of Syria and Lebanon, and Haroutune George Selimian, President of the Armenian Evangelical Community of Syria, Orbán’s press chief said.

The meeting was also attended by Tristan Azbej, state secretary at the Hungarian Prime Minister’s Office for persecuted Christians, and István Szabó Bogárdi, bishop of the Danubian Church District based in Budapest.

The guests were briefed about the situation of protestant churches in Syria and ways to support the survival of Christian communities in the region.

They said reconstruction projects in war-torn areas contribute to families’ return or stay instead of leaving or emigrating as a result of threats and discrimination, Bertalan Havasi said.

Orbán assured them of Hungary’s support and said help needs to be taken where it is needed instead of importing trouble to Europe.

He offered the Hungarian government’s financial support to persecuted Christians in order to help them return home.

  1. It could be an Alliance between Danish Maersk, the world’s pre-eminent Shipping Container Navy…& the Chinese, who currently make their Containers…or an Alliance with Swedish Volvo…which still still commands the old Eriksberg Shipyards in Gothenburg…or even with Hungary…but the most-profitable new Product to come onto the Market in the coming Years may well be the “Single-Trip, Convertible Shipping Container”…Something that would carry, amongst other Things, Syrians & their Belongings back Home…& thereafter, be converted into every Form of human/livestock Habitation.

    As soon as the Jihadis…being almost entirely Foreigners in Syria, are eliminated from the Syrian Landscape, expect serious Money, especially from China, to pour into Syria for Reconstruction.

    Anyone with a Million convertible Shipping Containers to sell, would be able to sell those Containers.
