Hungarian foreign minister says Soviet war memorial to stay
Foreign Minister Kinga Göncz yesterday reiterated that the Soviet heroes memorial in Szabadság tér will remain in place.
In an interview with Russia's state-run daily Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Göncz said "several bilateral general deals should be concluded," and added that she will probably be briefed on plans to build a Russian-Kazakh-Turkmenian gas pipeline, as agreed by the three countries' leaders last weekend. Göncz will visit Kazakhstan today.
