Kardeş Şehir Hatvan ve Selypi

Hatvan Macaristan'ın başşehri Budapeşte'ye 55-60 km uzaklıkta  küçük bir kasaba. Bizim Babaeski'ye karşılık geliyor. Alpullu'nun muadili olan yerleşim yeri aslında Selypi... Selypi'de şeker fabrikası var ve Hermann Gotherz o yıllarda Selypi Şeker Fabrikasının müdürü... Oradan kalkıp kalabalık bir ekip olarak Alpullu'ya  geliyorlar, bizim şeker fabrikamızı kuruyorlar. Makineler Almanların, fakat binaları Macarlar yapıyorlar ve tesisleri kurup çalışır hale onlar getiriyorlar. Makineler Almanların el emeği Macarların... Yıllar sonra "kardeş şehir" olalım diyoruz. Anlaşma yapılıyor. Fakat Selypi yerine Hatvan'ı tercih ediyoruz. Belediye olduğumuz için belediyelik yer ile kardeş şehir oluyoruz. Hatvan Babaeski demek ve Selypi ise Alpullu... Fabrikayı kuran ustalar, tecrübeli işçiler Selypi'den... İnşaat ustalarının önemli bir bölümü Hatvan'dan gelmiş olabilir.

One thing that really surprised us was that, on our way to Budapest we stopped for a short break in Hatvan where we met some really warm hearted people. The vice mayor welcomed us by saying ‘’Merhaba’’ which means hello in Turkish. We were really surprised, but turns out that this lovely town has been sister cities with Alpullu in Turkey since the time they built a sugar factory in 1924.

In the small town of Turkey, a sugar factory was set up in 1933. As the locals did not have any experience in this area, several experts from the Hatvan and Silva factories participated in the construction and commissioning of the plant. The majority of the workers in Hatvan worked for four years and assisted not only in factory building but also in the upkeep of the factory housing estate. This led to the initiative of the mayor of the Turkish small town between the two settlements. In 1996, the Turkish city leader visited Hatvan with two representatives and the director of the outer sugar factory. As a result of this favorable reception, 17 school students from sixty were able to take part in the Turkish Day of Childhood, and under the 1,000-year Hungarian School program, Turkish students arrived in Hatvan in September 1996.   partnership: 1994 ??  Başka kaynaklarda.
