Erdoğan: " Our students insist on demanding grants. They dont want loans. Why don't you want the loan? Loans are like grants you can pay back when you find a job. We decided to upgrade the grant loans to 500 for bachelor's ,1000 for post graduate, 1500 for doctorate."   Erdoğan: " Our country once ruled by the media, fourth force, branch, whatever it is. While shouting democracy, you put aside the people. Let them write what they want, we are all about the poeple. Democracy wont be achieved thruogh media."   Erdoğan; "The number of foreign students in our universities have increased despite all the negative propaganda. We removed the courses from our system. My citizens won't have to sell their cattle, or their gold bracelets to send their child to courses. We will never allow the parallel education systems."
