First kurultai of Hungarian kypchaks
Budapest, October 17, 2009 (Khabar) - Historical documents say that the kypchaks arrived in Hungary 770 years ago. This country then became the second homeland for 40 thousand people, who were headed by Koten khan. The first kurultai of kypchak people in Hungary, which happed in the city of Karcag was devoted to this date. This day coincided with a presentation of the book “Kazakhstan’s way” by Nursultan Nazarbayev.
The event involved the participation of Hungarian officials, kypchaks from Serbia, Romania and Slovakia, figures of science and culture and representatives of Kazakhstan’s embassy. The participants said that kypchaks, who came to the Danube and influenced Hungary are closely connected with Kazakhstan. The residents of Hungary were always interested in their oriental roots but research in this area started only in the 18th century. The first person who found a Maguar village in Kazakhstan in 1965, was Tibor Toth. His research was continued by Mihai Behnke, who wrote the “Turgai Maguar” book. It is assumed that the Turgai region accommodates the largest number of modern descendants from Maguar. The archeologist Laszlo Kurkovich said that during his trip around Kazakhstan he made a lot of photos of gravestones, which are peculiar to Turkic nations.
Laszlo Kurkovich, archeologist:
- We do not have such gravestones, since local kypchaks, who used to worship Tengri and Aruakhs, embraced Christianity and abandoned this tradition.
Currently, these stones are being exhibited in the so-called “Sacred place for kypchaks” in the city of Karcag. For its creation, officials of the museum used photos which were brought from Kazakhstan.
Dyerdi Shandor, sculptor:
- I tried to leave the important information for descendants in the process of reproducing of historical memorials. Here is the image of man and woman who hold a cup, and this is the image of a warrior. Names of places where Huns and Kypchaks lived are written on the plate. With help of saved pictures we can know how rich is the history and the culture of Turks which means our culture.
It is interesting to note that such words as alma, balta and kobyz are known to the kypchaks of Hungary. The generality of languages can be seen in prayers. At the kurultai, the Kazakh people said that Hungarian people are western Kazakhs and residents of Hungary said that Kazakhs are eastern Hungarians. A photographic exhibition, which depicts modern Kazakhstan and the stories of diplomats about life, the independence of the country, prospects for the development of bilateral relations between the two countries particularly, the forthcoming chairmanship of Kazakhstan in the OSCE and the implementation of the “Way to Europe” state programme appealed to the participants.
