Hungary welcomes statements by Russian President Vladimir Putin that the introduction of Soviet troops in 1956 was a mistake. This was stated by the head of the administration of the Prime Minister of the country, Gergely Guillas.
“We can only welcome this statement by the Russian president. This is a continuation of the correct practice that began in November 1992, when President Yeltsin condemned the entry of troops into Budapest in 1956,” reported Guyash (quote from RIA Novosti).
During the plenary session WEF September 12 Putin stated, that Russia has long recognized that part of the Soviet Union’s policy of sending troops to Prague and Budapest “was wrong and only led to tension in relations.” “You cannot do anything in the sphere of foreign policy that is in clear conflict with the interests of other nations, that’s all,” the Russian president concluded.
In his opinion, today leading Western countries, primarily the United States, are falling into the same trap. “They crush both their allies and their so-called partners, they have no friends, they only have interests. This is a continuation of the well-known British formula,” Putin said.
