However history may turn out,
for us everyone in included
in the idea of a ’Magna Hungaria’
00:00:08
wherever they may live,
citizen may they be of whatever country,
may they confess to being
00:00:15
a member of the Hungarian nation
or feel a double commitment to
00:00:23
the old country and the new
home with honor and honor
00:00:29
- they should always find Hungary their home.
00:00:44
All this must be thought through
very seriously and carefully
00:00:51
and we need to know that our
belonging together and this 1100-year
00:00:58
presence in this region,
the country we have today and at least
00:01:05
a thousand-year-old statehood,
which we can be proud of, mean a
00:01:13
lot of things at the same time
but primarily it means that
00:01:22
Hungarians have always been an inclusive nation.
Not only because of
00:01:29
the ancestors who had,
the desire to belong to Hungarians
but because Hungarians
00:01:37
on the basis of the feeling of belonging
00:01:44
to Hungarians and identitifying with Hungarians.
00:01:50
Many times I quoted Ady,
who, as most intimately knowing
00:01:59
Hungarians, was quoted
by Sándor Csoóri too.
It is not a coincidence that Ady wrote
00:02:06
"My arm will open up for those
whom were made Hungarian by intellect,
00:02:12
command, fate, purpose,
occasion." All those who wish
to belong to Hungarians
00:02:21
and claim to be Hungarian as
part of the Hungarian nation,
00:02:27
as part of Hungarian culture,
can do so calmly, because the
00:02:34
Hungarian nation accepts them and has
accepted them for a thousand years.
00:02:42
The other thing is that Hungarians
have not only adopted strangers coming to their land,
00:02:51
they have tolerated them,
they have considered them a
form of fortune since our
00:02:59
first king. Newcoming
groups and peoples live with us here,
00:03:07
leave a trace of the work of their hands,
bring new values,
00:03:14
- therefore our national and
minority policy is based on
00:03:22
this ideal of a millennia of
our first king Saint Stephen.
We believe that others can belong to
00:03:29
the Hungarians, it is possible
to live with the Hungarians
00:03:37
and the Hungarians welcome it,
Hungarians welcome minorities
00:03:45
and ethnicities within
the borders of the country
00:03:53
- this has been our tradition for a millennium.
We also hold ourselves to this when
00:04:02
it is the duty of the Hungarian
Government to take responsibility
00:04:08
for Hungarians living outside the
borders of Hungary and to do
00:04:14
everything possible to keep in touch,
not only with a statement
00:04:20
from the Prime Minister,
but in accordance with the
third paragraph of the sixth
00:04:28
paragraph of the changed and
valid constitution.
00:04:39
I've told you in other places,
in the context of the World Summit.
00:04:46
Who is surprised that the Germans
are concerned with the fate,
00:04:50
human rights and minority rights of
the Germans who were destroyed in the
00:04:56
territory of the former Soviet Union.
Who could resent Israel's concern
00:05:03
for the fate of the world's Jews.
We find it natural, but please note
00:05:11
that we are also interested in the
fate of Hungarians in the world.
