The parties discussed the prospects for signing a cooperation agreement and identified a number of activities in the area of archaeological research in Pridnestrovie. Mátyás Szilágyi noted it was his first visit to Tiraspol's university.
«There is a scientific interest: as the historiography is developing, new research trends and technologies emerge; and I hope our parties will meet regularly," said the ambassador.
Attila Türk added that he knows well the results of the studies conducted by the PSU archaeological lab and expressed hope for joint digging projects, the PSU press service reports.
«It is important for both science and professional exchange. Besides, Hungary is witnessing a Russian language renaissance now which attracts our youth as Russian scientific literature is of great importance," he said.
Galina Sandutsa noted that the territory of our republic is really of great interest to archaeologists.
«I am sure that in the future our joint research work may result in many interesting discoveries as we have already made very significant archaeological finds. We are also ready to invite Hungarian specialists in history and archaeology for delivering lectures, as well as your students for participating in expeditions and studying Russian," said the rector.
At the end of the meeting, the Hungarian delegation visited the university's museum of archaeology and took a look at the most valuable finds made by their Pridnestrovian colleagues, including exhibits of gold and silver. The guests also visited one of the most interesting archaeological sites — Slobodzeya's burial ground.
Attila Türk, who visited PSU in 2010, delivered the lecture «The new archaeological research designed for early Hungarian history in Eastern Europe».
