It is very nice to be with you, and it is a great motivation for both Çorum and our University. There may be problems you are facing, but we solve them as much as possible, but these problems are all over the world. First of all I would like to point out that you have all kinds of infrastructure as a university. You try to get the maximum information. We are ready to give support to you as soon as possible. "
"We have many common identities with you. As Hitit University, we have never had the thought to obtain a financial gain from international students. My desire is to establish a connection between Turkey and your country. We have many common values, especially national and cultural fields. In this context, we need people who care about nationality and nationality in our thinking. "

I would like to ask you to be involved in AR-GE work and projects to collaborate on many issues not only in your educational activities but also in many other countries. I would like to get more added value and support this issue. At the same time, we are promoting a business alliance between countries because of your presence here. After that you are our friends who will provide the bridge between the two countries. So you will be a culture ambassador. It's the primary goal and I think we've come a long way in this. "
