NUCLEAR CRANE <\/strong><\/p>\n

A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.<\/p>\n

That is the message from President Csaba K\u0151r\u00f6si.<\/p>\n

In a tweet, the President said that the dangers from nuclear weapons arise from their very existence. We should use our technologies and resources to create better lives; not costlier, deadlier threats.<\/p>\n

In this context, the President wholeheartedly supports the hashtags #CranesforOurFuture campaign, and all it represents \u2013 a world without nuclear weapons, and a future where the horrors of the past are never repeated.<\/p>\n

The campaign is held ahead of the anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.<\/p>\n
