According to the ministry, claims that EU funds are being directed to certain foundations and associations are "not true."

The ministry emphasized the role of the Turkish National Agency since 2004 in offering opportunities for citizens' personal and professional development through education, internships, and volunteering abroad.

The agency also provides grants to support projects initiated by public institutions, the private sector, and non-governmental organizations in collaboration with international partners.

"Since 2004, more than 39,000 projects have received grants, benefiting over 630,000 citizens with development opportunities in various countries," the statement highlighted.

The ministry further detailed the distribution of funds under the Erasmus+ program, noting that approximately 46% of the funds are allocated to universities, 23% to vocational high schools, 15% to schools, 11% to youth organizations, and 5% to adult education organizations.

The statement also clarified that all applications submitted to the Turkish National Agency are evaluated by independent experts, who decide which projects receive funding. These projects are implemented following the guidelines established by the European Commission and are monitored by the Commission.

The ministry concluded by urging the public not to trust news that is deliberately spread to mislead public opinion. (ILKHA)
