Vita Erdély történetéről a londoni Daily Telegraph 2003. november 3–5-i számaiban, azt követően, hogy kiderült: Michael Howard, az angol Konzervatív Párt vezetője erdélyi magyar származású. Részlet a Magyar Lobbi 2003. november 7-i akció körleveléből.

Egon Ronay

“Pleased to discover that Mr. Howard is Hungarian, not Romanian, in origin… pre-Versailles Transylvania was a shining example of multiculturalism, where Hungarians (the majority), Wallachians (who liked to think that they were of Roman descent)… lived in exemplary harmony for many centuries…”

John Makra

“After WW1 a plebiscite was held in Transylvania which resulted in the reunification of Romania… the population was 75% Romanian, 15% Hungarian… There was a systematic attempt to Magyarize the Romanian population, Orthodox priests were persecuted and churches destroyed, Romanian children were forcibly schooled in Hungarian…”

John Nandris

“Transylvania did not ‘belong’ to Hungary, which did not then exist, but to the Austrian Empire… Transylvania remained an independent principality until the Congress of Berlin in 1878, when it was ceded by the Ottomans to the recently created Austro-Hungarian Empire.”
