Hungary and Türkiye commemorate the 100th anniversary of establishing diplomatic ties “in a due manner” by elevating their partnership to a special strategic level and with a Hungarian-Turkish cultural season, she said.

Turkish Ambassador Gülşen Karanis Ekşioğlu said the new statue is a symbol of good morals and humane human values.
