Turkish National Education Minister Nimet Cubukcu met with her Azerbaijani counterpart Misir Mardanov on Thursday within the scope of her two-day visit to Azerbaijan.

A total of 4073 Turkish citizens are getting education in Azerbaijani universities. 139 of them are scholarship students.
Turkey every year allocates 125-people quota for Azerbaijani citizens who will get education through state scholarship.
Number of Azerbaijani students getting education in Turkey is 517.
