Hungary has not received any mandate from the EU Council to advance the relations with the Organisation of Turkic States (OTS), Josep Borrell, the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, said on Sunday, after Prime Minister Viktor Orbán attended an informal meeting of the OTS in Shusha, Azerbaijan. Orbán’s participation at the meeting held on Friday and Saturday “took place exclusively in the framework of the bilateral relations between Hungary and this organisation,” Borrell said in a statement.
