Orbán cabinet expresses its condolences to Russia for the attack in Moscow
Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó phoned Sergei Lavrov, his Russian counterpart, on Saturday to express his “deepest condolences” over the terrorist attack on a concert hall that killed at least a hundred people on the outskirts of Moscow during the previous night.
He told Lavrov that Hungary resolutely condemns the attack in which innocent people had been killed, according to a foreign ministry statement.
Hungary stands with those mourning their loss, Szijjártó told Lavrov. “Those are in our prayers, and we wish a swift and full recovery to those who were injured in the terrorist attack,” he said.
Lavrov told Szijjártó that Russian authorities would do everything they could to round up those responsible for the terrorist attack. The Hungarian minister Szijjártó said that in a new development the Islamic State terrorist organisation had claimed responsibility for the attack and 11 of the suspected perpetrators had been detained.
Szijjártó told his Russian colleague that Hungary condemns “in the strongest possible terms” every form of terrorism and will continue to participate in international anti-terrorism cooperation.
He said the ministry had not received information about Hungarian victims or casualties. Szijjártó makes no mention of the Russian bombing, which terrorises Ukraine on a daily basis.
