Summary/Abstract: Turkish-Hungarian relations have been characterised by unusually good cooperation over the last 10 years in particular. The governments of the two countries cooperate closely in almost every policy area and on every occasion. One can speak of a golden age in Turkish-Hungarian relations. This analysis aims to answer the question of whether the authoritarian leadership style of the presidents of both countries is the reason for this golden age of relations. The qualitative study used the autocracy promotion approach to analyse the interests of Erdoğan and Orbán in their close cooperation. It can be concluded that the authoritarian style of government of both statesmen at least has a positive influence on the very good relations.
