Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban held a joint press conference with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Budapest on Thursday.
Orban stressed that without Turkey the flow of migration heading for Europe cannot be stopped. He said that Hungary is able to defend its borders; in whichever direction migrants are setting out, it is absolutely certain that not a single illegal migrant can cross Hungary’s borders.
According to Kormany.hu, Orban also said the goal is for those who have left their native land to be able to return home because instead of bringing problems here, to Europe, help must be taken where those problems emerge.
Regarding the framework of Hungarian-Turkish cooperation, the prime minister recalled that in 2013 they had concluded an agreement with President Erdogan in Ankara about setting up a strategic council at the highest level and conducting annual meetings.
