American, European and Asian, and this represents almost 90% of the countries of the world, and this matter draws the attention of foreign students in general and Syrians in particular to studying in Turkey, especially since Turkey provides students around Syrians with appropriate and good special scholarships and facilitates the procedures for entering the country and makes it easier for them to conduct their residency papers.
