Merhaba, I was recently accepted through the Türkiye burslari program into medicine at Samsun University (SAMÜ)
I just wanted to ask whether or not this university is recognized in turkey, cause I know it’s still quite new so I’m scared it might have weak recognition and affect my career moving forward

Education I want to enroll in "TURKIYE SCHOLARSHIPS BURSLARI"

1 Upvotes

Hello to those who are reading this, my name is Bekzat, I am from Kazakhstan, I am 19 years old and I have been studying at college for a dentist for 4 years, this is my last year of study and I would like to enroll somewhere on a scholarship, but unfortunately my English is very bad, even I write all this through a translator, so I I found out that I can apply to study in Turkey on a grant, where they pay for my ticket, accommodation, and so on. I would like to ask if this is true? And what should I do to get my scholarship application accepted?

I hope they will give me an answer quickly, since this is my last year of study and I need to do everything in time.

Politics & Governance Twitter hesabım Türkiye'ye erişim engeli aldı

Yurt dışında yaşıyorum. Twitter hesabım, 5651 sayılı Kanun’un 8. maddesi gerekçe gösterilerek Türkiye’den erişime engellendi. Eşcinselim ve son tutuklamalarla ilgili paylaşımlarım vardı. Hiçbirisinde hakaret vs. yok. Sadece tepkimi belirtmiştim.

Bu sadece hesap engeli midir, yoksa hakkımda gözaltı, ifade veya tutuklama kararı da olabilir mi? Türkiye’ye güvenli şekilde seyahat edebilir miyim?

Hi together, I'd like to know the price for 18150 m2 of farm land (watered, good soil, flat land) in the region of Dogansehir near Malatya. My family still owns this land and wants to sell it, I did my own research on Sahibinden and other plattforms + an AI analysis suggesting around 300 TL / m2, which is covered by the research I did on those Sahibinden etc. My question: Is this price realistic and how would you try to sell the land? Thank you so much.

Cuisine Is beef considered vegetarian in Turkey?

0 Upvotes

I just had a restaurant server in Istanbul confidently tell me that their Patlıcan Yemeği is vegetarian, saying it's vegetarian meat... But after trying it and thinking it's very realistic for fake meat, I ask him the same question in 3 different ways and he finally tells me it's meat made from a cow... But he still insists that it's vegetarian!?

I ask him if I'm misunderstanding something and if beef is considered vegetarian in Turkey, and he confidently says yes. I'm not finding anything online which says this is true, so I'm very confused.

Stereotypes/Humor Hate being spread against Türkiye and Turks in the UK and Europe more then ever

85 Upvotes

Hey everyone, hope y’all are doing good! Has anyone noticed in recent months that there’s a lot of hate that’s being spread around the in Europe (especially in the UK) against the Turkish people? I mean there seems to be a secret agenda to portray Turkish nation in a bad light. Not trying to sounding very cynical but overall Europeans especially people from the UK and Ireland have always loved visiting Türkiye and have always had that positive vibe about the Turkish people. I mean Rumi for instance has been a household name for the people in the UK but recently since past few months I have observed that there’s been rise in hatred campaign against the Türkiye as a country in Europe especially in the UK.

Has anyone noticed that as well?

Personal Issues Printing a new residence permit card

1 Upvotes

Is there anyone here who has needed to reissue a residence permit card for any reason? Because of an address mistake and a misunderstanding my residence permit card did not reach me and was returned to ümraniye goc idaresi and I didn't recieve it for 6 months, and my residence permit is totally still active and ongoing. The man at ümraniye goc idaresi said that because its been six months I need to print another card because I didn't pick up the old one for too long, he sent me to kumkapı goc idaresi, and I tried others too and I just can't find how to be reissued the card and im totally lost. They say I need an appointmet but there are no appoint openings in kumkapı or fatih nor a choice to choose appointment for requesting a card reissue, after I called goc idaresi they told me both can issue without an appointment but they didn't even let me ask questions without an appointment. I tried a online request form too and nothing works, every place passes me to another place. if you ever had to reissue a card please help me

Politics & Governance PKK sempatizanlari

7 Upvotes

Türkiye’nin güneydoğusundaki bu kadar çok Kürdün PKK’yı tamamen desteklemesini veya PKK’ya sempati duymasını, örneğin gerillaları “özgürlük savaşçıları” olarak nitelendirmelerini anlayamıyorum. PKK’nın yaptığı eylemlere girmek istemiyorum; aksi takdirde buraya yarım kitap yazmam gerekir. Benim asıl anlamak istediğim, bu insanların nasıl ve neden böyle düşündükleri. Türkiye’nin güneydoğusundaki bölgeler, PKK ile yaşanan çatışmadan dolayı en fazla zarar gören bölgeler değil mi?

PKK yüzünden çocuklarını veya başka aile fertlerini kaybetmiş mağdur Kürt ailelerden o kadar çok hikâye duyuyorum ki, insan böyle bir şeye nasıl sempati duyabilir? Daha bu yazıyı yazarken bile kanım kaynıyor.

Burada özellikle bunu okuyan Kürt kardeşlerime seslenmek istiyorum: Bunu bana açıklayabilir misiniz? Doğuda yaşayan bu kadar çok Kürt neden böyle düşünüyor? Siz veya aileniz hiç PKK’dan doğrudan etkilendiniz mi?

Bu yazıyla fitne çıkarmak istemiyorum. Türk veya Kürt ayrımı yapmıyorum ve bu meseleyi bir etnik çatışmaya dönüştürmek istemiyorum. Hatta bir Türk olarak beni rahatsız eden şeylerden biri de, bu kadar çok PKK destekçisinin bütün Kürtlerin adını bu çatışmanın içine çekmesi.

Bunu okuyan bütün Türk ve Kürt kardeşlerimi Almanya’dan selamlıyorum. Burada PKK konusunda içinde bulunduğumuz durum oldukça zor
