ORBÁN ASSURES KAZAKHSTAN PRESIDENT OF HUNGARY’S SOLIDARITY

 

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán called Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on Monday and assured him of Hungary’s solidarity over victims of recent developments in the country, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said. Referring to the unrest, 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 protests in the country broke out after state price caps on liquefied petroleum gas, a mixture of propane and butane gas, were removed on New Year’s Day.
