year before it was 44 thousand. We started with 8 thousand,
and reached 70 thousand. We will increase it each and every
year. Our motto is, ‘Do not stop, keep going.’ Now to study in
Europe, is not something that belongs to upper class in Turkey.
Every citizen from 81 cities of Turkey can go to training

issues has added that all 39 districts
of Istanbul makes use of the European
Union Programmes and said: “ While
the needs of the districts are met with the
European Union funds, the inhabitants of
these districts benefit from educational
opportunities in Europe. I would like to
thank everyone who contributed to this
process. The process of the European
Union is Turkey’s process of reform,
reconciliation and living humanely.
The process of the European Union is
also our process for returning to our
original being. What I mean by returning
to our original being is that we are the
members of a civilization which has said
even during the most powerful periods
in history that ‘ we must make humans
live in order to make the state live’.
What I mean by saying ‘ make humans
live’ is that we are living the transition
process of applying the “every citizen
is equal” principle in our constitution
as the descendants of the ancestors who
have embraced all the people without
any discrimination. The process of the
European Union is the most important
platform of Turkey while it contributes
to the democratization, transparency,
enrichment and development thereof.
Our country deserves much more, and
we are realizing this in our reconciliation
process, in our enlightment process,
in our transparency process and in our
democratization process namely in our
European Union process.
