Hungary's foreign minister said on Tuesday he thought it "unrealistic" that Russia would attack any NATO member, a view that contrasts with some other NATO member countries in the region who see Moscow as a real threat. Szijjarto said each NATO member state had feelings of "different intensity" about a perceived threat from Russia, and that he respected other views. "I don't think it is a realistic assumption today that Russia would attack any NATO member state," Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said in an interview with news portal Index.hu. When asked about Turkey, Szijjarto -- who had earlier described the failed coup in Turkey as a "terrorist act" -- said he did not see any anti-democratic developments in Turkey. NATO members have voiced concern that they could be targets of hostile acts from Russia.
