The message notes that István Congur Mandoki is an outstanding figure in the field of Turkology and Kipchak studies. His achievements in science and his contribution to the development of relations between Hungary and Central Asia are truly invaluable. The scholar dedicated most of his life to travels and expeditions, studying the history and culture of both Hungarians and Turkic peoples. In 2024, in honor of the 80th anniversary of his birth, the Hungarian Embassy plans to present a book about Mandoki in Bishkek titled "Kоңурдун коңгуроосу".
