Viktor Orbán is eager to make Hungary a mediator between the European Union and the countries of the Turkic world. Therefore, the current Hungarian leadership will continue to promote the so-called "niche diplomacy".

The impact of the energy crisis and the consequences of a special military operation are forcing the countries of the European Union to accelerate the diversification of oil and gas supplies. Hungary, despite its continued dependence on Russian hydrocarbons, has been following this path for a decade, pursuing a large–scale and specific goal as part of its "grand strategy" - obtaining the status of "middle power" in Europe through a multi-vector foreign policy. A new stage in achieving this goal for official Budapest was the development of relations with the countries of the Organization of Turkic States, primarily with Turkey and Azerbaijan.
