It was on 30 August 1940 that Romania was forced to give to Hungary more than 43,000 square kilometers of Northern Transylvania having a population of approximately 2.6 million inhabitants. In his presentation of what happened 60 years ago university profesor Doctor Ion Scurtu said that during that interval Romania was completely isolated and it was in that context that the ultimata of the Soviet Union regarding Basarabia and Northern Bukovina were enforced and so was the Vienna Diktat by which a population of 2,600, 000 people living on a surface of more than 43,000 square kilometers went to Horthy's Hungary. In the opinion of professor Scurtu the guilty party was the Romanian political class of that time that did not take action in a pragmatic manner in the foreign arena not even when it was clear that for a time both the UK and France promoted a policy of accepting Germany's occupation of Austria and Czechoslovakia. RADIO ROMANIA ACTUALITATI also informed that profesor Mihai Retegan said that what happened 60 years ago was a Diktat by both the unfolding of events and by its consequences as alongside the occupation by Moscow of Basarabia and Northern Bukovina the enforcing of the Vienna Diktat was the division of the zone of Eastern Europe between Hitler's Germany and the Soviet Union.The commemoration of 60 years since the VIENNA DIKTAT also occasioned the organization of memorial services and rallies in the martyr villages and towns of Ip,Trasnea, Zalau and Cluj Napoca, informs RADIO ROMANIA ACTUALITATI.
