August 10, 2012, in Hungary, in the territory of protected Hungarian steppe “empty” in Bugace opened a three-day Congress-Congress of the “sibling” the Hungarians of the Turkic peoples. Cultural events with the same name is held in Hungary for the third time. This year it promises to be the most representative on the composition of its members and the number of delegations. Shift from Finno-Ugric vector on the idea of ‘ great Turan “, i. e. the historical and cultural kinship with the Turkic peoples of the Hungarians is the most important change in foreign official cultural policy of Hungary.

Modern historical Hungarian mythology represented by the Hungarian organizers Kurultay argues: Turan is an ancient abode of the nomads, the Carpathians-the last stop where nomads who migrated from East to West, still live and thrive by creating their own State. Whether in modern Hungary any real cultural reasons for this country and the people to the “Great Business”? Of course not. Culturally, Hungary is a country in Central Europe, overcome the tradition which, however, continues to influence the European variant of Christianity in the Roman Catholic or Protestant reformatskom.

In the cultural and ethnically modern Hungarians have nothing in common in our culture with the Turks-nomads-it is rather mad′ârizirovannye, assimilated linguistically, the Slavs. At the beginning of the 19th century even the central regions of the country were not homogeneous and represented ethnic Kaleidoscope villages with prominent Slavic component. Pannonian-Western half of modern Hungary, it is the historical homeland of the Slavic world. The national dish of modern Hungarians are pancakes (palacsinta), rather than boiled mutton. But let’s not forget that the culture of grapes in Hungary has its roots as far back as Roman times. Cultural differences between the two halves of the country, where the Roman Empire was, and where it was not visible to the naked eye, so they are obvious. So what then is a cultural orientation of modern Hungary?

The bright national historical myth, formed as far back as the middle ages, the “Conquest of the motherland” ten nomadic tribes, Chief Arpad in Carpathian Valley from the depths of Asia at the turn of the VIII and IX centuries. It complements the “Hunnic myth about the origin of the Hungarians Like and his Horde. Note the great Steppe “girdling belt of Eurasia, is a simple geographic fact. It starts in the Hungarian Puszta. But genetic research undertaken by the Hungarian scientists haplogroups found “Ural combination of genes from one of 250 men of the Hungarians. Nomadic Magyars dissolved in human European sea without leaving a residue or were mercilessly exterminated the Saints Stephen (d. 1038) was the first Hungarian King and Christian Baptist Hungary. However, after the loss of the Great Turan continued. In Hungary in the thirteenth century moved Kuman (Weng. Coons) and Iasi, fleeing the Tatars. And among the modern Hungarians, although very rarely, no, no, Yes and you meet them exterior descendant like the Kazakhs.

Be that as it may, but a historical myth of Eurasian origin turanskom Hungarians through a system of national culture, education, literature, contemporary plays steadily Hungarian society. It is a significant romantic element of national character of the Hungarians. This romanticism and was used by the Hungarian Government in the modern nationalist new foreign cultural policy of this country. In fact, in his “Turan” in Hungary has serious economic implications. In its application, is currently in Turkey, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. The latter two countries are particularly important in terms of energy projects. No less important, and work to increase the export potential of the country. We Hungarians are trying to develop relations with Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.

“Turan” often has the strange manifestations in Hungary. For example, last year in this country from the Bible in Hungarian, but using the ancient Turkic Runic alphabet. Question is who will it be read? Or here, for example, Hungarian ultra-nationalist party Jobbik conducts nationwide publicity campaign with the entrances to the villages of these titles-the villages of written Turkic runes. October 30, 2011, this sign was installed MEP from the Hungarian Jobbik party White Kovács in the village of Bene in Zakarpattia Oblast, Ukraine. Previously similar plaques were placed at the entrance to the Берегсас “and Geče (Weng. Mezëgeče).

Now the turanskih Kurultai in Hungary is a special organization-Hungarian turanian Fund (launched in 2009). On the Internet there is a dedicated website for this event (www.kurultaj.hu). In addition to participation in the Organization of the Congress, of the last Hungarian-We fund shares is the installation of June 3, 2012 year manufactured in Hungary, monumental Memorial “tree of life”, weighing two tons and a height of 9 metres. The monument was made by Hungarian solid wood carver Sándor Nemes. “Tree of life” symbolizes the kinship with the Turkic peoples of the Magyars. At present the special Hungarian Cavalry expedition is a journey on the steppes of Eurasia mnogotysâčekilometrovoe, making a detour to return to Europe via Iran.

August 9, 2012, on the eve of the Congress representatives of Turkic peoples of about 100 people in Budapest in the Hungarian Parliament accepted his Vice President Sándor Lounger. The politician, a member of the ruling party, Fidesz, oversees cultural policy of Hungary in Eurasia, particularly in Russia. Lounger is the main patron of the “Hungarian Congress.

From the world of science organization and conduct of the Kurultay is anthropologist András Zsolt Biro.

In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Hungary, “turanskoe” Hungarian cultural policy directs Ernő Keshken -Head of the Department of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. However, it is not education and expert rusist.

The first Kurultay of turanskih people started in the year 2007 in Kazakhstan. The second was held in Hungary in 2008, in the heart of the Earth moved here in Bëstërpuste near the town of cuman Kunsentmikloša. After that, as it seems, the Hungarians seized the entire tradition of organizing this event. Kurultai was held once every two years in Hungary. The third Kurultay again was held in Hungary in 2010, Bugace. The delegates from 10 countries: Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, China (Ujguriâ), Turkey, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia (Bashkortostan and Tatarstan), Moldova (Republic of Moldova) and Bulgaria. Its events drew then 150 thousand visitors. The organizers of the Congress believed that his visit was already 250 000 people. This is already a significant amount and with tourism and commercial point of view. This time Congress will be presented, according to the organizers, delegations from all Turkic peoples. In fact, the representatives of 25 people from 17 countries. Listed as separate countries, Hungarians are Russian Tatarstan and Bashkiria. But only at the invitation of the Union of Hungary at present We Kurultay will be 111 delegations, groups or teams.

Kurultay is primarily a costume ethnographic show game in Eurasian nomads of antiquity. In Bugace the Kurultay will lodge in the camp of the yurt. In the programme of the Congress: demonstration of traditional or imagined them sacred traditions and shamanism, horse-riding and archery competitions, music and singing groups, a special programme for children. Particularly honored guests at the Kurultai in Hungary will become members of the tribe Majar, “open” in the steppes of Kazakhstan Turgay ethnographers in 2006, Hungarian. It consists of 3000-3500 people. It is difficult for us to judge what is behind this: valid fact or so “trendy” modern ethnic hoax. But, nevertheless, this event became the starting point for the present Hungarian Kurultai.

Formally, the Hungarians, rightly point to the fact that the number 24 of the Turkic peoples (as with all ethnic groups and sub-ethnoses 86) in the world is 170 million people, while the number of 19 people the Finno-Ugric language family-only 25 million, of which 15 million itself. are Hungarians and 5 million. the Finns. The Turks now have in the world 7 independent States (Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Turkey, Uzbekistan) and 12 territorial autonomies (9 of them in Russia). “Turanian Kurultay” in Hungary because of the uncertainty surrounding the historical framework of the Hungarians to take to allow the delegations of non-Turkic peoples. In particular, the delegation will attend the Kurultai of Avars of Daghestan. In the work of the Kurultay will participate once again, the delegation of the Slavic Bulgarian language.

The Finno-Ugrians, they are represented in the world of three States-Hungary, Finland and Estonia, all of which are in the EU, and six territorial autonomies (all in Russian). Geographically the whole Finno-Ugric world outside the EU is limited to the Russian Federation. Turkic peoples, speaking a language conglomerate Lion Gumilev, now takes the signs of common knowledge. Finno-Ugric is not.

Turkic world, thus, gives much more space for cultural, economic and political interaction between the Hungarians, than a small and seemingly uninspired in comparison with the world of Finno-Ugrians. But, as you know, the tender telâti two Queens sucks. So do not be surprised that a month after the Kurultai in Hungary in September 2012, there will be a regular Congress of Finno-Ugric peoples. But it seems that we now have the Hungarians lack the financial means nor the soul to work immediately on two directions of foreign cultural policy. The present Finno-Ugric event is the official Hungarian authorities without much desire and political inspiration. On the causes of this Hungarian cold to modern “Finno-Ugric theory” and its manifestations in the run-up to the World Congress of Finno-Ugric tribes and will be our next publication.
