Orbán cabinet: Attempt was made to topple the constitutional order in Kazakhstan
The Hungarians that requested help from the Hungarian government to leave Kazakhstan are being evacuated as planned, the foreign minister said, adding that they would arrive in Budapest on Monday evening, aboard an aircraft of the Hungarian military.
Hungary’s diplomatic representations have been in contact with some 100 Hungarians in Kazakhstan since the beginning of unrest in that country, Szijjártó said, adding that altogether 12 of them asked for help to leave.
Five people were rescued from Almaty last week, while six are being evacuated now and one person, holding dual citizenship, decided to stay in Almaty, Szijjártó said.
Under a recent agreement with Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, the six Hungarians are leaving Almaty on board of a Russian aircraft. They will land near Moscow later in the day, and will be picked up by the Hungarian military plane, Szijjártó added.
Kazakhstan is a strategic partner, therefore Prime Minister Viktor Orbán called Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev earlier on Monday and assured him of Hungary’s solidarity over victims of recent developments,
Szijjártó said.
Referring to the events, he said that
in Kazakhstan “an attempt was made to topple the constitutional order, and a well-coordinated attack was made against the Kazakh state itself”.
The Hungarian government offered its assistance to the Kazakh state last week, Szijjártó said, adding that on Tuesday foreign ministers of the Turkic Council, in which Hungary has observer status, will hold a video conference on the subject.

A despot offering support veto a despot. Quel surprise. Tokayev has ordered security forces to “kill without warning” – to open fire and kill anyone on the streets protesting and Orbán offers his support? He thinks that a government murdering its own citizens in cold blood is a regime to provide solidarity with? Is this what he plans for Hungary if there are any protests over his regime? His true colours are finally emerging.
The attack was made by the government against its own people. Tokayev started the elimination of Nazarbayev’s former men and then called the Russian led alliance. Just like in Romania, 1989 ! All started like a revolt/revolution, then, Iliescu and his men, made the coup and took over the power. We were celebrating, poor fools, being fooled by the diversions made by the army, Securitate, KGB, Soviet special forces, Americans, etc. On the 23rd December, Iliescu called the Soviets, to come in the country, to protect the new regime. Gorbatschov offered any kind of help, excluding the armed one. That’s how we escaped a new Soviet invasion !
And now, the Hungarian government, instead to protest against the bloody liquidation and imprisoning of the protesters, takes the side of the oppressers! And that because of economic reasons: Russian help at the Paks atomic power plant, Russian gas, Sputnik vaccine and economic relations with Kazakhstan.
What would say those, who fought on the fronts of the Second World War? What would say those, who fought in the 1956 Revolution? Even in this revolution, the Hungarians were waiting the Americans, to come and free us from the Soviet slavery. They never came-they have sold us first time in Cairo, 1943, and then in Yalta, 1945. They had urgent economic interests elsewhere on the globe.
Now, the Hungarian government is betrading the Kazakh people, who wants freedom. It’s like in 1986, Tschechoslovakia. The Hungarians participated too at the liquidation of the Tschechoslovakian revolution. From the countries of the Warsaw Pact, only Romania didn’t wanted to send troops-economic reasons again!
Now, i’m sorry, that i have voted the FIDESZ-KDNP. This year, i wont!
