The Hungarians are a people who are in close contact with the Turks since the most ancient periods of history. The cultural interaction of the two peoples therefore goes back to the darkest periods of history. The entry of the Hungarians into the Ottoman rule in the history of the relations of the two peoples has been a historical turning point, and the two cultures have found the opportunity to get to know each other closely and have entered the phase of integration. Since the Ottoman period, the two cultures have become familiar with each other in the literary field. The fact that this friendship bond, which had been established in the Ottoman period, has extended to the present day, has ensured the continuity of the interaction between the cultures of these two friendly countries. The artistic translations of the two countries, which are indicative of intercultural communication, have more than a century of history. While the developmental dynamics of this issue are determined by the political, economic and social elements of the two countries, the main factor that constitutes the dynamic is the friendship and brotherhood ties from the depths of history between the Turkish and Hungarian peoples. It is an important part of the Hungarian cultural exchange with translations from Hungarian to Turkish. So translations is wrong to consider as a translation only the language, the culture is necessary to examine the translation. In this study, the Turkish-Hungarian relations in parallel with the increasing interest for study aims to contribute to the examination of literary translations in Turkey. The lack of studies on the translation activities together in cultural relations, but this study is the most obvious difference and contribute to a growing literature on Turkey-Hungary relations and is intended to contribute to both the Turkish-Hungarian relations.
