A ceremonial funeral service was held for Ambassador János Hóvári, the Executive Director of the Representation Office of the Organization of Turkic States, (OTS) on Monday at the Farkasrét State Cemetery in Budapest.

During his address, Kubanychbek Omuraliev, the Secretary General of the OTS highlighted the countless and invaluable contributions made by János Hóvári to the Turkic world during his lifetime, both as a Turcologist and a member of the Hungarian foreign service. It was mentioned that the legacy of János Hóvári will be eternal. His wisdom and diplomatic acumen, played a pivotal role in strengthening friendship and cooperation between the Turkic States and Hungary, according to the website of the organisation's Hungarian representation. 

Moreover, Kubanychbek Omuraliev noted that János Hóvári’s life-long sacrifices came into fruition with the establishment of the Representation Office of the OTS in 2019 which has had profound impact on the development of closer institutional relations between the EU and OTS in such a short span of time.
