So, after blaming the others for diverting the discussion to historical issues
you are now diverting a discussion about minority rights to the issues of
numbers and percentages.
Like saying "lets talk about the rights of the hungarian minority. But actually
hungarians were not a minority in Northern Transylvania. And if today 
by any chance they are this is due to assimilation". 
You have doubts about the romanian majority in Northern Transylvania.
You can also have doubts about the romanian majority in Transylvania today,
80 years ago, 300 years ago or 1000 years ago. 
While you are advocating minority rights, you smear
that hungarians could "deserve" Transylvania (they came here first, in a
desert land and have been there a majority until the fatal year 1918).

Anton -- First of all, I am glad to find the very first and so far 
the only Slovak on this list who thinks the law is not good and is not 
needed.  If there were more people like you, the "exeggaration" would not 
be needed to illustrate to other Americans what this law would do.  
Unfortunately, a majority of the deputies elected by the Slovak people to 
their Parliament felt that such a law should be introduced, discussed and 
approved.

BTW, as far as exeggaration is concerened:  the reason I did not write 
that people who offend the language law are executed is because THAT 
would have been an exaggeration --it is not true.  The punishment stated 
in the law is incarceration -- prison.  I did not write that... the 
majority of the Slovak people through their elected deputies did, who are 
therefore responsible for any negative impact their words may have on 
world opinion.

There is still a chance to avoid the embarrasment:  if President Kovac 
does not sign the law and the Slovak Parliament allows the law to expire, 
the law will disappear.

One last thought, Anton ---  there are a many Hungarian Americans, like 
me, who would like to put our whole miserable common past behind us and 
concentrate on rescuing our sinking economic and social ships. Good 
Hungarian relations with her neighbors is important both to Hungary and 
to Western Europe's leaders who are considering Hungary's admission to 
their clubs. I would think Slovakia has -- or should -- have very similar 
aims.  The recent signing of the Slovak-Hungarian Treaty, I thought, was 
a step in the right direction.  It also included provisions that would 
have guaranteed to Slovakia's Hungarian majority individual and group 
rights similar to those in Western Europe.

Unfortunately, the Treaty, which has been approved in Budapest by the 
Hungarian Parliament, has yet to be approved in Bratislava.  And now we 
see a law that is in direct conflict with that Treaty.  As a result, some 
people now say that maybe Hungary was too quick to approve the Treaty, 
maybe she should have waited to see if the Slovaks show signs of 
supporting it.  

In the meanwhile, Western Europe and NATO are nervously watching the 
squabling. But rather than both countries being dismissed as unruly bad 
children, Hungarians have at least the obligation of explaining the 
lengths to which they went in trying to establish good neighborly 
relations and the reasons why their efforts are so far unsuccessful.  The 
Language Law is a very example of the latter.

Take care...

Perhaps it is because Hungary chose not to make an issue of it, since her 
aims are not to gain Slovak territory but to ensure minority rights for 
Hungarians living in Slovakia.  But maybe, as a bargaining point, Hungary 
should make a presentation of  this "de-facto" border change to the 
guarantors of the 1947 Treaty of Paris and request that the land south of 
the main channel be turned over to Hungary.

What if I wrote: "It really irks me when Mr. Chirac and the French in
France sort of give up on a larger France. Why should those poor French,
who, through no fault of their own, happen to now live in a new country.
Those people are still French."

This could very easily apply to the Quebecois in Canada. I would resent no
end, any interference of France in the internal affairs of Canada. Indeed,
there was one incident in 1967 when French president Charles DeGaulle stood
on the balcony in downtown Montreal and loudly proclaimed "Vive le Quebec
libre!" He was unceremoniously put on the first plane out of Canada later
that day and Canada was right to do it. Despite Canada's current situation
regarding Quebec, France has diligently kept its nose out of it. France
does not voice any concerns about the rights and privileges of the
Francophonies anywhere within Canada -- it has its own situation in the
Basque which can be pointed at.

It is one thing to advocate human rights and democracy for one's ethnic
cousins in another country, but it should always be accompanied by a
sensitivity to the "other" ethnicity in that country. Whenever, I have been
in Hungary, I have noticed two sets of attitudes towards the fate of
Hungarians in another country. There generally is a deference when speaking
of Hungarians in Austria, and a condescending (sometimes arrogant) attitude
when discussing the fate of Hungarians in Transylvania. This sort of thing
makes me feel that there is more to the individual's agenda than a pure
concern for human rights.

Any difficiency in human rights in Romania is targeted towards the Roma
more often than the Magyars. If the concern is purely one of human rights
then the Roma should be equal in concern. And within the borders of Hungary
as it is now, the Roma should be provided with every human right and
privilege that the Hungarians demand for the Romanian-Hungarians.

When you talk of a "larger Hungary" I get concerned because it matters to
me as a Canadian. Canada is a party to the Final Helsinki Act. Among other
things, it fixes the current borders of Hungary, as well as other nations.
Hungary is a signatory of the same Act. You would do well to abide by the
spirit as well as the letter of the law that your government solemnly
signed. If you don't, your dream of a "larger Hungary" will turn into a
nightmare.

Have you been following the discussion ? Maybe it is 50%, maybe 30%, I didn't
bother to count, but 1 ??? I also don't feel like I am going to acheive 
anything by shouting on this group about how bad the law is.

Jano -- actually, both the Traety of Trianon and the 1947 Treaty of Paris 
define the border as the main channel of the Danube.  Since the majority 
of the water is now flowing through the artificial channel, by definition 
it is the border.  What I don't understand is why the Hungarian 
Government has not taken possession of the land the Slovak Government has 
thus ceeded to Hungary.  Is it perhaps because the Hungarian Government 
has no revisionistic designs on Slovakia and prefers to solve this 
problem legally and peacefully?

Of course, there are other, far more serious objections to diverting the 
Danube.  Ecologically, it is a disaster of epic proportions.  A number of 
international organizations, like Greenpeace, have now condemned Slovakia 
for causing it.  For people living along the Danube, it is a lasting 
reminder of the tragic foolishness of the same communist grandiose 
planning that gave the world Chernobyl.  The sad mystery is that it was 
implemented after communism died as the Wall in Berlin came down and most 
countries were able to free themselves of its legacy.  It is hard to 
understand why Slovakia stuck to it so tenaceously.  Perhaps you can 
explain it to us, Jano.

I find your misplaced mirth very sad.  I hope Hungary and Slovakia never 
find any reason to arm themselves against each other.  I sincerely hope 
that your opinions reflect only a small minority in Slovakia.

It's not that the Hungarians do not want to get involved and speak up.
It's that most Hungarians who live in small cities/towns do not have
access to INTERNET.  Also, the majority of Hungarians do not speak
English.
As far as I know, Internet is only provided in cities like Gyor, and
Budapest.
Tell me, how can anyone staying in Tatabanya or Komarom have the
chance to even own a computer or a modem and to read English like many
others do?

Does it matter that said leader made other unkept promises? How does this
descredit Liviu's statement? The fact remains that specific promises were
made and those promises were made to the citizens of Romania and if they
had any self-respect, they would expect those promises to be kept. If you
had any self-respect as a Romanian, you wouldn't take such a lackadaisical
cavalier posture towards such promises.

Was said leader entitled? There was an election wasn't there. The election
was attended by international observers as well as media. By and large the
election was fairly held. The current leadershit was handed a mandate by
the majority of votes cast.

Dan Pop wrote:

The leadershit was not self-proclaimed -- it was elected. If you want to
discredit something, it would be more convincing next time if you used more
substantial material than your spurious aspersions.

Dan Pop wrote:

Conclusion: Promises made by any Romanian leadershit and its people for the

bread left out in the summer sun for a month.

Action-to-be-taken: Never trust a Romanian at his word.

Wally Keeler,


        First of all, i want to tell you, maybe sometimes i will don't


write so good in english, so please understand my mistakes . I read 

not only this letter what you wrote, but many of them what you send to


the Romanians and Hungarians . I'm agree with you because we don't 

must live only in past, and we must to do something to change this 

mentality . At least i'm not agree with this type of discussion what 

Romanians and Hungarians make, some of them are indeed interesting, 

but others are so sterile. This problem betwen our countries will not 

finish so soon... . I think both of us must to comme to a more deep 

understanding of each other, this is only reasonable choice, the other


choice is very clear the WAR .

But, something i will criticize to your way of thinking . What i will 

criticize is specific to all people who live in occident . Many of 

you, think because occidental countries are superior and others are 

almost BARBARIANS, i see many of you don't understand WHY these 

countries are in THIS SITUATION .

You and others, speak from YOUR POINT OF VIEW, WITHOUT TO KNOW WHAT 

FEEL AND WHAT LIVE THESE COUNTRIES IN THEIR HISTORY . WHAT YOU DON'T 

UNDERSTAND is:

THIS region of world has suffered many bad things, many negative 

events, these events was so bad...

But, the peoples of this region  DON'T FORGET these events . I must to


tell you without exageration, these events are deep writed in the 

souls of people, in their minds, is almost GENETIC .

This type of process is happening when somebody suffer(pain) INTENSE 

AND VERY MUCH .

But that's not all, after the second World War, this region was under 

RUSSIAN INFLUENCE !!!!

Another catastrophe over our heads ... . Milions of roumanians was 

killed from COMUNISTS, ALL ROUMANIAN INTELECTUALITY, ALL WHAT WAS 

INDEED A VALUE FOR ROUMANIA

The same events... . And you tell us to DON'T LIVE IN PAST ?????......


You will understand that when you will live these events.... Forget 

you brother, or your mother or your father  who was killed from 

COMUNISTS, or HUNGARIANS , or RUSSIANS .

                                             FORGET IF YOU CAN !!!!!!


        I don't want to defend Romania, but read our history to see, 

how had live the Roumanians .....

For US, ALWAYS OUR LIFE WAS A FIGHT, against others who always come to


us with INCREDIBLE DEMANDS . All countries around Romania tell us 

TRANSILVANIA IS NOT YOUR LAND(HUNGARY) DOBROGEA IS NOT YOUR 

REGION(BULGARIANS), MOLDOVA IS NOT YOUR LAND(RUSSIANS) . Where is 

ROMANIA ? NO WHERE !!!!!! After these people, we must to DON'T
 
EXIST .  Who is indeed an enemy of peace in this region ?

By the way, i want to tell you another thing . Yes, all occidental 

countries are civilizated countries.

But, i see nobody of you, don't think how these countries had became 

"So Deep Civilizated", so Superior....

Tell me please : France, England, Holland,Germany, Austria and 

Hungaria, Italy, what is so specific in the history of these countries


?????? . Is so easy to find : All these countries had a Colonial

 Empire !

Hundreds of years they take all what was good in the countries who

 they EXPLOITE !! 


         The OCCIDENT IS SUPERIOR NOT BECAUSE IS SO ADVANCED.....

 IS BECAUSE "THIS" OCCIDENT EXPLOIT HUNDREDS OF YEARS "THESE 

				BARBARIANS"


You write : Why you don't want to join the "GREAT ENGLISH 

CIVILIZATION", you end by telling us almost like a menace, if you 

don't agree you will be assimilated from this "great civilization" . 

			Cute, ah ?

Barbarians must to be assimilated if they will don't obey ! Hmmm.... 

after my poor knowdlege of history was someone who tell us the same

 thing and his name was : ADOLF HITLER .

Be careful, i don't want to say, you are Hitler ! I want only to show

 you the possible consequence of your idea . You don't tell us 

something NEW , so please understand CORRECT what i wrote .

Another thing :

        If something is specific to the Occident is this :

        You want to impose your model of society to others ! You think

 this is healthy ? You think all of us must to be like you ? You 

think, we must to take your "model" and to put this "model" in OUR

 LIFE.... The fight of others countries against the occidental

 influence have like reason this wrong type of thinking...

A lot of countries need indeed a CHANGE, but a change in wich this

 country can save the own specific, and to DON'T LOOSE THE CONTROL OF

 THE OWN ECONOMY !!!, because the Occident want to be the "BOSS" not 

only in his country, but to be the "BOSS" and in "other HOUSE" . 

That show me for a long time, because the Occident DON'T HAVE ANY 

RESPECT FOR THE SPECIFIC OF EACH COUNTRY !

And your letter show me AGAIN the SAME THING .

I have deep doubts about the Occidental Civilization . Now i live in

 Canada, and i  see what means this "civilization" at the social level


Here don't exist indeed a "Communion Betwen People", each family in 

his appartment, people live here like a stranger to each other, only 

money are important, only my pleasure,many people are alienated... . 

        The Occident is modern, but  is without any WISDOM, and The 

WISDOM come from TRADITION the really problem is OUR WORLDS ARE IN A 

DEEP WAR . One WORLD is a MATERIALIST  WORLD, other WORLD is a 

SPIRITUAL WORLD, the base of this world is TRADITION and  RELIGION .

 The only chance to survive to each other is to take what is Good from


each type of world . If we don't do that, i don't see our  future well


Come to Romania, or Hungary, or Bulgaria, or Russia to see this type 

of Communion . You will understand how wrong you are when you speak 

about US, in YOUR TERMS .

Finish for one time to think all things in terms of : Commodity,

 civilization, etc . Go and know these people, ask these people what

 they think about life, world, what they feel, what they desire from 

life.

KNOW YOU , THESE PEOPLE AFTER THEIR """SPECIFIC""", LOOK DEEP INTO 

THEIR SOULS , AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND NOT ONLY HOW WRONG YOU ARE, BUT 

YOU WILL APPRECIATE THE """WISDOM""" OF THESE """SIMPLE(ORDINARY)"""

 PEOPLE .




        For the readers from Hungary( and for you Wally)


                                                        
                       Dear Tamas, Janos, Sandor,.........


These people are not real, that means i don't know somebody with this 

name, but is a virtual person .



        I will be very clear . The key of understanding betwen 

Romanians and Hungarians is so simple :

        People from Hungary, must to end to put all the time the

 teritorial integrity of Romania in question, if you will continue 

with this theory, will don't be NEVER UNDERSTANDING BETWEN US .

        The real problem is :

        Any Romanian will don't accept like a base of disscusion the 

Autonomy of Transilvania or  a type  of Regional Autonomy . The real 

problem is to protect the rights of hungarians in Romania more well
        
 with more good laws . Anyway, like a personal comment :

        After my father i'm hungarian, my mother is Romanian, always i


consider deep in my soul i'm Romanian, but always i consider i can be 

proud because i'm and hungarian . In the light of these affirmations i

want to tell you, i know very well the hungarians from Romania . 

Before to comme to Canada i live in a majoritary hungarian region in

 Romania, in Harghita, so i want to tell you this:

Indeed in the time of Ceausescu the situation of hungarians in Romania

 don't was good. But in reallity we both, romanians and hungarians in

 the time of Ceausescu we live at the same level of life, no one don't


had some privillege . After romanian revolution, the situation of 

hungarians at the level of rights is not only good, is very good . In 

principal cities where hungarians are majoritary exist a CABLE TV 

COMPANY, the owners are of course hungarians, and they do a very good 

job . Exist a separate channel only in Hungarian language, exist a 

separate channel for DUNA TV, day after day the cultural life and

economic life of hungarian community is more good . The people for 

example, who drive these cities are only hungarians, they don't need 

really an Autonomy, because they have NOW this autonomy , but under

the Romanian law . Almost all aspects of the life of hungarian

 community is only in the hands of hungarians

What i find is wrong to hungarians leaders from Romania is because 

they have the same reflex to put this teritorial problem . You think 

is really wise to put this problem at the table of negotiations, when 

you speak with Romanian leaders ? The discussions are about the RIGHTS


OF A MINORITY, IN A MAJORITARY ROMANIAN COUNTRY . You don't fell is so


wrong this position, when the interest of Hungarians leaders from 

Romania is to defend the RIGHTS OF THIS MINORITY ?

Romanian leaders are open to discussion, but when somebody comme with

 this position, you don't feel the processus of negotiations is almost

 DEAD ??....  Another point is :

How you think , will feel all the Romanians(ordinary people) when

somebody put this territorial problem ???

What is interesting to me, is because always a hungarian speak like,

what feel Romanians is not important, this is "our" problem and we

 must to solve this problem . In fact the problem is the hungarian

leaders, don't want to negotiate the protection of hungarians rights, 

they want to don't be under the Romanian rule, under

the Romanian law .They want to break a country .

 This is the true position of these leaders .

 From this position, begin all troubles betwen Hungarians and 

Romanians . I said in the begining of this letter because only chance

 to have a solution to this problem is to have a deep understanding

 about each other, but unfortunately i see hungarian leaders from

 Romania - and not only from Romania - don't let a chance to begin

 this process of  understanding betwen us . The mistake of hungarian

 leaders is because they believe the Romanians don't want a solution

 for this situation . Romanians want a solution, but under the 

Romanian Law .

        Anyway our Occidental friend have right when he say, we don't 

must to live all the time in past, because we, Romanians and

 Hungarians, we have two different point of view of history.

Hungarians consider when the Romanians take the Transilvania in 1918

 don't was legal, this was an historycal injustice, Romanians consider


this WAS INDEED AN ACT OF JUSTICE after 8 hundred years

of opression . So, in this situation what we must to do ?? The both 

parts will remain at the his own opinion, so that means can't be 

understanding betwen these two countries ???

        Let, to be sincere betwen us, the times in which we live are 

different, maybe for some hundreds of  years we'll tell for each other


i'm hungarian, i'm romanian, but the world will became a village,

borders will be only on the maps, i'm sure of that, in 10-20 years the


economical links betwen Romania and Hungary will became very

 important, day after day, our level of life will became dependent

 from  each of us, when Romanians and Hungarians will work for the 

prosperity by economical links, many of these problems will dissapear 

betwen us . Is only a matter of time . 




 I wish to all my hungarians friends from all parts of the world, and 

                             for you Wally, an Happy Cristmas
 
                                            and God to be

                                                with you

                            


                             Kobori Gheorghe Alexandru

I have already asked you to stop putting words in my mouth.
I have explicitly stated, more than once, that whatever happened in the
past should not affect the efforts of solving the current problems.

If someone invokes the past, I can do it, too.  This shouldn't be put
in a different context, however.

Who made that declaration?  Is it relevant for 1995?  If yes, feel
free to post it.

No one is disputing it.  

The question is the quality and quantity freedom its residents 
enjoy.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you again.  I too am becoming 
convinced that it is useless to discuss this issue on this group. 
Good luck to you.

Nemoy is Russian means  “ Deprived abilities to speak, dumb  from
birth, quiet, tacit “
When the first immigrants from western came to established themselves
in Russia (around the XII century), they did not speak Russian (or any
other Slavic language) and  the Russian common people did not
understand a word about their language; so they called this people
unable to speak  “dumb," “mute”. All the Slavic peoples from Central
Europe call them in similar way )even the Hungarians (who are not
Slavs and use Magyar, a Finno-Ugric tongue  written in Latin
characters and influenced by borrowings from the Turkish, Slavic,
German, Latin, and French languages) use the word nemet to identify a
German. The Hungarians, probably,  took  this word by Polish influence
in XIV century , when Hungary made a number of territorial
acquisitions, including Bosnia and part of Serbia. and their king
through his marriage to Elizabeth, the sister of Casimir III, king of
Poland, ensured the succession of his son Louis to the Polish crown.
