State secretary meets Middle Eastern Christian students
Tristan Azbej, state secretary in charge of Hungary’s aid to persecuted Christian communities, met a group of 217 young Christians from the Middle East, on Friday.
Addressing the students, all of whom are freshmen at Hungarian universities thanks to the government’s scholarship programme, the state secretary said that “assistance to young people in persecuted Christian communities is the most important form of help”.
Azbej said that over 245 million Christians suffer persecution worldwide, while “the world keeps silent about that”.
“Hungary, as a Christian country, is loyal to the persecuted and offers help to them,” he said, adding that the Hungarian government builds schools, hospitals and churches in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
Most students are from Syria, Egypt, Nigeria and Iraq.
