Hungarian-Turkish strategic council focuses on Syria
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will visit Hungary on Nov 7 to attend the Hungarian-Turkish strategic council, according to the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
Hungary's Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto told Hungarian state media on Oct 15 that his country supports Turkey's plan to move refugees into Syria, contradicting the EU's formal opposition to Ankara's military incursion into Syria, and the most important thing is to protect Hungarian interests and stop migration.
According to the statement, Turkey will appoint five new honorary consuls in Hungary, and Turkey will support Hungary's bid for membership of the Executive Board of UNESCO.
