Bilateral Diplomacy and Security Ties Between Turkey and Hungary in the Last Decade

Abstract

In this article, the bilateral ties between Turkey and Hungary are explored. Among the bilateral relations, we are studying include diplomacy, security. Hungary is a country at the center of the European Union, whereas Turkey lies in Anatolia. Both countries are essential to one another because they serve as a bridge between Asia and Europe. Hungary and Turkey have a complicated relationship that alternates between friendship and hostility. Throughout history, the two countries have had numerous face-to-face encounters. Even though the two countries were on opposing sides of the conflict, the end of the Cold War strengthened political and economic ties between Hungary and Turkey. Since Hungary's regime change in 1989, the two countries' economic and political ties have made enormous progress. Turkey played a significant role in Hungary's "opening to the East" policy during the Second Orban era. Meetings of the High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council began in 2013 and have since provided a dynamic and institutional framework for bilateral relations. The post-2010 TurkishHungarian relations were evaluated in our study based on diplomacy and security ties.
