Abdullah Selim shared achievements of Turkmen students: "Last year, the top student in eight faculties was from Turkmenistan. This student received a 100% scholarship and is currently continuing their studies free of charge. Furthermore, five other Turkmen students of ours secured second and third places and also received significant discounts. Our university truly offers excellent opportunities for development.
