Abstract

The roots of Hungarian and Turkish nations extend to the depths of history and relations between two nations extend as deep as the roots. This close relationship, which has continued since the earliest periods of history, continued with the riveting of the Ottomans during the domination of the Hungarian lands. When The Ottoman began to stand back from the Hungarian lands, a new area was opened in relations. The long nineteenth century has been the scene of the most tightly knitting of Turkish-Hungarian friendship ties. After the Ottoman stepped back from the region, Hungary came under Habsburg’s domination. This administration brought pressure. In response to pressure a revolt broke out but it was not successfull. Hungarian leaders were left alone. The support and patrogane of the Ottoman Empire left indelible marks in the hearts of Hungarian people. After that, two empires took same block on the First World War. Turkish troops fought in Galicia, Austria-Hungary artillery batteries in Çanakkale and Sina-Palestine fronts fought with Turkish.
