About ELTE in Hungary

The Department of Turkic Studies at the university was established by Vámbéry Ármin, a world renowned Turkologist who had traveled to the Ottoman lands and Central Asia and was familiar with the Turkic world. ELTE was founded in the city of Nagyszombat in 1635 and was moved to Buda in 1777. It has since been the largest university in Hungary. Our Agency had previously provided technical equipment to the Department of Turkic Studies at the university.
