The Hungarian Cultural Center will host the presentation of a Turkish-Hungarian poetry translation workshop at the Hungarian Cultural Center tomorrow, starting at 7 p.m.

As part of the 3rd Istanbul Offline Poetry Festival, four Hungarian and four Turkish poets, Ferenc Andre, Anna Terek, Benji Horvath, Hajnal Csilla Nagy, Umut Yalım, Yaprak Damla Yıldırım, Efe Duyan and Gökçenur Ç., gathered together for four days in order to translate each other's poetry.

They will now present these translations in a joint event, in Turkish and Hungarian.
