Why have Turkey and Hungary become close political partners despite limited trade and little public demand for closer ties? My article argues that the answer lies in a common pushback against EU criticism and both regimes' regional ambitions beyond the EU. 1/4 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

The latest publication by SUITS Postdoctoral Scholar @szerlasz.bsky.social examines the close partnership between Orbán's Hungary and Erdoğan's Turkey, a partnership based on shared interests and experiences of rejection by the EU. A great read!

🔎NEW INVESTIGATION: The hotline between FM Péter Szijjártó and Sergey Lavrov gives Russia strategic insight into key EU matters. Evidence, including a leaked phone call recording shows Hungary’s FM acted for the Kremlin, pushing to delist sanctioned Russians, with Slovak support.

This promises to be really interesting.... I had mostly written this relationship off as "populist authoritarians of a feather, flock together" but ‪László's argument is more nuanced than that and suggests something more deeply buried in the histories of Turkish and Hungarian nationalisms.

I’ll be joining Turkey recap tomorrow at 10:00 (CET) to discuss Turkey-Hungary relations. We’ll look at how the relationship has evolved, from energy and defence cooperation to civilizational ties and their implications for the EU. 🔗 Join here live: open.substack.com/live-stream/...

💥Hungary’s energy purchases could’ve funded about one-tenth of Putin’s war in Ukraine, if all revenues were used for war, Hungarian daily Népszava reports. 💰Between Feb 2022–Sep 2025, Hungary bought €15B gas and €8B oil from Russia — €23B total. Russia’s war costs are estimated at €100–300B.

Today the PKK, as a follow-up to its symbolic withdrawal ceremony in July, has announced its complete withdrawal from Turkey. My recent piece at the EPC summarizes the first year of this renewed Kurdish peace process.

🔴 Türkiye’s renewed Kurdish peace process could reshape EU–Türkiye relations, migration policy and regional security — but it is unfolding under authoritarian conditions. Peace without democracy is fragile. Read our latest commentary by @selvinkorkmaz.bsky.social 👇 www.epc.eu/publication/...
