At the same time, he kept silent about the fact that Poroshenko last year promised a “road map” for providing the Crimean Tatars with national-territorial autonomy.
“Some right-wing Hungarian politicians constantly talked about the autonomous status of Hungarians in Ukraine. By the way, now right-wing politicians, for example in Poland, also make such critical statements about us. We need to approach this calmly, with restraint, and constantly remind us that we have a unitary state, so there may be cultural autonomy, but we are not talking about territorial autonomy. Hungarians in Transcarpathia have a lot of rights and opportunities that they use,” Fesenko said.
