Prof. Dr. János Hóvári, the  Executive Director of  Representation Office of the Organization of Turkic States in Hungary, passed away.

The passing  of this distinguished scholar and Ambassador who was not only deeply respected in  Hungarian diplomacy due to  his outstanding services as an Ambassador but also  made unparalleled efforts for the unity and solidarity of the Turkic World and the Hungarian people during his duty as the Executive Director of the Representation Office of the Organization of Turkic States in Hungary (TURKSOY) in addition to carrying out many activities contributing to the cooperation and rapprochement between our peoples, and devoting his entire life to research in the field of  Turcology, has deeply saddened   the Turkic World.

The passing of Ambassador János Hóvári, who was among the close working partners of TURKSOY and made valuable contributions to  activities organized by the latter in Hungary, caused great sorrow among staff members of TURKSOY.

In his post on Ambassador Hóvári's death, TURKSOY Secretary General Sultan Raev said: "I wish God's mercy to Ambassador János Hóvári, who is known as a doyen with his intellectual knowledge, kind personality and love for the Turkic World, and who endeavoured for the unity and solidarity of the Turkic World on every platform, and I extend my condolences to his family, loved ones and the entire Turkic World."
