Hungarian-Turkish cultural season at halfway point

Gulsen Karanis, Turkey’s ambassador, told a press conference in Budapest on Tuesday that the Hungarian-Turkish cultural season, held to celebrate 100 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries, is halfway through. More than 70 programmes have taken place in Hungary so far.

He noted that in the second half of the year, programs would be mounted in Győr, Debrecen, Bugac, and Szigetvár, among others, as well as in Budapest.

Péter Hoppal, the government commissioner for the Hungarian-Turkish cultural season, noted that 87 events — galas, exhibitions, workshops, literary, gastronomic and children’s programmes — took place in 15 towns in Turkey, including in Istanbul, Ankara, Adana, Izmir and Tekirdag in cooperation with 71 partners.
