50 Turkish policemen will join the border protection in Hungary
Change language:
Interior Minister Sándor Pintér and his Turkish counterpart, Suleyman Soylu, on Friday signed a cooperation agreement on Turkish police forces aiding Hungarian border protection efforts.
At an event after the signing ceremony, Pintér and Soylu welcomed the other country’s policemen in their native languages.
The ministry said the 50 Turkish policemen would serve at Röszke and Nagylak, on the Serbian and Romanian border, respectively.
Pintér said that talks of the border cooperation started in November, at an inter-governmental meeting of the Hungarian-Turkish high-level strategic cooperation council. Pintér and Soylu then agreed that stopping illegal migration, fighting people smuggling and reinforcing border security was a common duty, he said.
Therefore, Soylu proposed to send Turkish units to cooperate at the Hungarian borders, he said.

Hungarian troops will thus be able to use the experience of Turkish officers in handling illegal migration at Turkey’s eastern borders, he said. The cooperation will also boost the fight against cross-border crime, he said.
I don’t like it.
Erdogan is a Christian hating, dictator.
No other enemy has done as much harm to Hungary as the Turks did.
@MAGYARORSZÁG A MAGYAROKÉ
Unfortunately for you, the current Hungary government believes that Hungarians come from Turkic tribes (it is likely that the Magyars were from a Turkic tribe, even though they came over a thousand years ago to Hungary).
I appreciate your comment but I believe that you and many others are confusing Turkic tribes with Turks. Not the same.
It is not possible to find a government, party or political leader one approves in everything. I will vote for Fidesz-KDNP in spite of a number of things I very much object, I disapprove getting chummy with communist China, Turkey and Azerbaijan.
These countries are ruled by brutal dictators; In addition, Turkey and Azerbaijan are guilty of genocide of Christian-Armenians.
In any democracy one often has to choose between imperfect sides. The Soviet EU, Soros and CIA supported anti-Hungarian opposition has no positive side. They are the worst possible choice for Hungarians. They would destroy Hungary.
With all the strong objections I have to some of Fidesz-KDNP government’s foreign policy, I can still support them because they are committed to protecting our borders from illegal migration and our children from pedophiles and LGBTQ propaganda.
It is not an ideal world. Never was.
