This year’s Kurultaj, a tribal assembly of Hun-Turkic peoples, opened in Parliament on Friday, with representatives of 27 nations attending.
Sándor Lezsák, parliament’s deputy speaker, said the event was “a great, European festivity representing and renewing the millenia-old popular diplomacy of the east”.
“Kurultaj does not have a past only but a vision for the future; it has long been a joint holiday for young supporters of the tradition and of young families,” Lezsák said. “A sense of kinship is a shared national currency that will also promote economic, social, cultural, and sports ties, too,” he added.
Kubanychbek Omuraliev, the general secretary of the Organisation of Turkic States highlighted Kurultaj as an opportunity for Hun-Turkic peoples to celebrate a shared past and traditions as well as to promote economic and cultural relations.
He noted that Hungary had observer status in the OTS and said Hungary’s EU presidency could “get the Turkic world to Europe”.
Further programmes of the event will be held at Bugac, in south-eastern Hungary, until Sunday.
