Hungarian troops to carry on with mission in Iraq
The Hungarian troops stationed in Iraq continue to carry out their mission with the necessary security measures in place, the defence ministry said on Monday.
Reacting to reports of NATO missions suspending some of their activities in Iraq in view of the tensions between Iran and the United States, the ministry said
experts of the ministry and the Hungarian Armed Forces will continue to analyse the situation, with a view to guaranteeing the security of Hungarian soldiers.
The ministry noted that by contributing to NATO and coalition operations, Hungarian troops work on creating and maintaining Iraqi security. NATO has suspended training programmes in Iraq as a precautionary measure, the statement said. The decision impacts only parts of the operation of the Hungarian contingent as it is active in other fields as well, it said.

Born in Hungary, Budapest, 28th July 1951, I grew up at Budapest, XI. Keru”let, Toro”k Igna’cUtca 8. Having lived in the United Kingdom, London, since July 1977, I have visited Budapest, and attended the European Security and Co-operation Conference, Novotel Hotel and Conference Center, Budapest in 1994, following banning in advance The Danube Dam at Bo”s, in a public march held in the diplomatic district of London, supported by many polish people under Solidarnosc Banners. The Hungarian Government is not acting in the national interest in allowing the continued existence of the banned in advance Danube Dam at Bo”s, and allowing the Kolontar 2010 Alumina sludge disaster, which is just like the sinking of the Pajta’s go”zo”s at Balatonfu”red.
