Szijjarto: Hungary's veto of NATO Ukraine declaration due to minority rights

Hungary vetoed a joint declaration of NATO ambassadors on Ukraine, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto noted at the Eurasia Forum in Budapest on Wednesday, as it did not compel Ukraine to hand back rights it stripped from the ethnic Hungarian minority. The minister said that Hungary was not prepared to sacrifice the interests of 150,000 ethnic Hungarians in western Ukraine to geopolitical interests.
