Change language:
Parliamentary Speaker László Kövér arrived in Türkiye for an official visit on Tuesday.
He opened an exhibition dubbed Parliament on the Danube Bank at Istanbul’s Tarik Zafer Tunaya Cultural Centre.
The exhibition has been organised under the arrangements of the Hungarian-Turkish Cultural Year by the Parliament’s public collections directorate, the Hungarian embassy and the Liszt Institute – Hungarian Cultural Centre Istanbul.
Kövér told the opening event that Hungarian-Turkish relations had a long history but “despite the ties of kinship, unfortunately the period when our countries when our countries were fighting against each other had lasted too long.”
He added, however, that the Hungarian people would never forget that Ilona Zrinyi, Imre Thokoly, Ferenc Rakoczi II, Lajos Kossuth and “many of our heroes found refuge on Turkish land.
