Orbán’s chief of staff: Fake news that Hungary would order passports from Turkey

The Turkish Interior Minister said that he has a contract to print 250,000 Hungarian passports. At the government briefing on Thursday, Gergely Gulyás called this a fake news.

As we reported earlier, Turkey is producing 250,000 Hungarian passports. Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu said that Turkey will now produce not only its own passports but also passports of other countries. Including, for example, those of Hungary and France. They have an agreement with Hungary for 250,000 passports.

Previously, the Turkish passports were printed in another European country, but the partner company could no longer take on the task due to a lack of chips, hvg.hu reports.

However, at the government briefing on Thursday, Gergely Gulyás refuted these reports. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade did not respond to inquiries, rtl.hu reports.
