This year’s Kurultaj, a tribal assembly of the Hunnic-Turkic peoples, opened in parliament on Friday. Representatives from 27 nations took part.
Sándor Lezsák, deputy speaker of parliament, said the event was “a great European celebration that represents and renews the millennia-old people’s diplomacy of the East”.
“Kurultaj has not only a past but also a vision for the future; it has long been a common holiday for young followers of tradition and for young families,” said Lezsák. “The feeling of kinship is a common national currency that will also foster economic, social, cultural and sporting ties,” he added.
