Miklós Patrubány is President of the World Federation of Hungarians:
There is an extensive amount to read at this link. First it appears in Hungarian and then in English. The issue here is how Hungary was divided up, the history of those chances on the map and in some cases the forced chances of national identity on ethnic Hungarians in new parts and the survival of the ethnic Hungarian.
"In total, it can be established that, in the territories of the successor states,
the numbers and ratio of Hungarians have fallen by 50% and their chances of
survival have deteriorated, therefore the re-examination of the Treaty of
Trianon cannot be postponed."
Being a citizen of the United States of America, I feel this issue is not of as much personal concern for me as it would be for someone still living in Europe. Though I Identify as Hungarian-American, like most Americans I'm of mixed ethnicity, and it could be said, generations away from Hungary. Yet I can therefore also ask the questions of "Who is a Hungarian?" and "What makes a person a Hungarian?"
It seems evident that a person who SELF IDENTIFIES as HUNGARIAN is!
