Orban’s scarf sparks diplomatic row – Depicts part of Ukraine as Hungary

THE Ukraine will call her ambassador Hungary to protest the fact that the prime minister Viktor Orban went to a football game wearing one scarf depicting part of Ukrainian territory as part of Hungary.

“The promotion of revisionist ideas in Hungary does not contribute to the development of Ukrainian-Hungarian relations and is not in line with the principles of European policy,” the ministry’s spokesman Oleg Nikolenko wrote on Facebook.

Nikolenko stated, as reported by APE-MBE, that Ukraine is seeking an apology as well as to deny that Hungary claims Ukrainian lands.

Ukrainian media released images of Orban’s meeting with a Hungarian footballer, in which the prime minister is seen wearing a scarf that online newspaper Ukrainska Pravda says depicts a map of “Greater Hungary”, which includes territories that are now part of of the neighboring states of Austria, Slovakia, Romania, Croatia, Serbia and Ukraine.
