Kövér: The Arab culture is welcomed in Hungary

The event was opened by László Kövér, Speaker of the National Assembly of Hungary, globoport.hu writes.

Nureddin Benomar, ambassador of the Kingdom of Morocco, said that culture is the road and the bridge, with which nations can get closer to each other. The ambassador emphasized that the Arab Cultural Days is not about politics, but about culture, and traditions. However, he did mention the Palestinian issue, and said that it’s a “sacred issue” for Arab countries, which they will never forget.

The ambassador said that there’s a corner which rises above the others, and this is the Palestinian corner; he said he won’t let anyone talk dirty about the issue which means so much to the Arab countries.

The Arab Cultural Days was opened by László Kövér, Speaker of the National Assembly of Hungary, who said that the Arab culture is still the most important feature of Islam. Kövér praised the Muslim civilization, the religion of Islam, the Arab culture, and the Arab scientists, especially the discoveries of Arab mathematics. The politician also mentioned Ibn Ruszta explorer and geographer, who already called the people who occupied the Carpathian basin Hungarians (Magyar).
