"Gül Baba, a Bektashi dervish who lived in the 16th century, is one of the sultans of our hearts whom we must protect. Gül Baba, whose personality marked the period he lived in, participated in the Buda expedition upon the invitation of Sultan Süleyman and died on the first Friday after the conquest. The tomb of Gül Baba, one of the last representatives of the Gaziyân-ı Rûm, was built in the years after his death by Beylerbeyi Yahyâ Paşazâde Mehmed Pasha, the governor of Buda. A large lodge named after Gül Baba was also established next to the tomb. Gül Baba, as a symbol of the centuries-old friendship between Turks and Hungarians, calls out to visitors regardless of their faith from the depths of history, from the 16th century to today, reminding them that the survival of humanity depends on mutual respect,understanding, and friendship between different cultures. We further strengthened the Turkish-Hungarian cooperation with Gül Baba's Tomb, the restoration of which was completed by TİKA in 2018. During my first visit to Hungary as President, I was very pleased to open the tomb to visitors together with my dear friend Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. During the restoration, along with the repair and landscaping of the tomb, a cultural center and museum also came into operation. The tomb complex gained a very different striking appearance with its garden arrangements and interior spaces. In this way, while Gül Baba's Tomb has added more beauty to the beautifulness of Budapest, it has also become a symbol of the friendship between the two countries."
