Vienna’s stance on terror attack in Moscow hypocritical — ambassador
According to Dmitry Lyubinsky, official condolences only came from the Austrian foreign ministry on March 27, four days after the attack, from a deputy chief of protocol
VIENNA, March 29. /TASS/. Russian Ambassador to Austria Dmitry Lyubinsky has slammed Austria’s position concerning the terror attack on Moscow’s Crocus City Hall as hypocritical as its authorities have not yet condemned it.
"To my deepest disappointment, Vienna has taken a very hypocritical position on the Crocus City Hall tragedy.Let me recall that in its vague, generic statements on the X network, the Austrian foreign ministry, and later the federal president and the federal chancellorsaid that they were shocked by the video from Moscow, but never condemned the atrocious act of terrorismon March 22," he said in an interview with TASS.
According to the Russian diplomat, official condolencesonly came from the Austrian foreign ministry on March 27, four days afterthe attack, from a deputy chief of protocol.
"We can only shrug our shoulders: today, Austria is part of a very small circle of countries which have not condemned the terror attack in Moscow in any way. Just like Ukraine,, naturally. So, we have to draw the most serious conclusions," Lyubinsky said.
He said that he had told an Austrian foreign ministry spokesman that Russia demanded condemnation of the attack and would raise this matter within international organizations. The Austrian mass media never ask hard-hitting questions on this matter, he added.
At the same time,this official position doesn’t reflect the moods of the Austrian people. The embassy, in his words, has received andcontinues to receive letters condemning the terror attack and expressing condolences. It also receives letters from Austrian diplomats, Vienna-based international organizations, and "many unfriendly countries.".
