President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who is in New York to attend the 74th session of the UN General Assembly, made a speech at a dinner hosted by the TURKEN Foundation.

"We have made Turkey an education hub for the students from friendly and brotherly regions," underlined President Erdoğan.

Stating that they have 168 thousand guest students in Turkey studying either with the Türkiye Scholarships or by their own means, Turkish President further stressed that their goal is to raise the number of guest students in Turkey to 350 thousand and thus to be among the top five countries hosting the largest number of guest students in the world.

Drawing attention to the presence of many lobbies working against Turkey for long years, President Erdoğan underscored that members of the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) make strenuous efforts in order to poison Turkey-U.S. relations and to cause unrest among Muslims.

Stressing Turkey’s determination to unveil the true face of FETO, which martyrized 251 Turkish citizens and wounded 2,193 others on the night of July 15, 2016 coup attempt, President Erdoğan said that the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs carry on with their diplomatic efforts in order for FETO’s terrorist leader to be extradited from the U.S. to Turkey.
