He confirmed the interest of parties in the continued functioning of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), which is now the only platform for dialogue between East and West in Europe.
The FM also touched on the issue of the new Russian state textbook. "I told Mr Lavrov that the Revolution of 1956 is one of the most uplifting events in Hungarian history, when Hungarian people became heroes, stood up for the freedom and sovereignty of their country, fighting against overwhelming forces. Therefore classifying these freedom fighters as fascists is simply unacceptable, and this is an issue that is not even up for debate," he said.
"Sergey Lavrov assured me that the latest statement by President Putin is the guiding principle in this matter," he added.
The two foreign ministers discussed the maintenance of economic cooperation in all areas not falling under the sanctions.
Mr Szijjarto concluded that in order to achieve peace and stop the killing, we need to talk to each other and keep the channels of communication open. "If we don't do that, we give up all hope for peace, and we don't want that," he said.
