Together with Secretary-General for Foreign Affairs Peter Launsky-Tieffenthal, State Secretary Tursky expressed his gratitude to the new Austrian citizens for deciding to renew their bonds with Austria, despite how long it took the country to acknowledge its historic responsibility for the fates of the new citizens’ ancestors and family members.
