Hungary supports EU-Turkey agreement
Change language:
Strasbourg, April 21 (MTI) – Hungary supports the EU-Turkey agreement which protects the external borders of Europe, and is the same for Europe as the fence for Hungary, the head of parliament’s foreign affairs committee told MTI over the phone in Strasbourg late on Wednesday.
Attending a Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly debate over migration, Zsolt Németh called it a major success that the agreement defends the external borders of the continent.
He at the same time expressed regret over the assembly voting down the European Union by declaring that the agreement is in conflict with some fundamental human rights.
Németh called it an important element of the agreement that the resettlement of migrants in EU member states will be carried out on a voluntary basis, which Hungary considers the sole acceptable approach.
