When asked why he does that he said: One day these kids that are educated in Turkey will be back to their countries and will take high positions in there. Investing in them means that Turkey will one day have people who can lobby for it and work for it's interests in this country.
That won't happen, human nature is mostly self serving and those that desire status and prestige are the least generous and considerate of the human race. A good example are the millions of refugees who fled to Turkey over the decades, today they mostly push separatist nonsense or at the very least attack Turkish culture and history. When was the last time you saw someone online say "I'm a Kurd from Turkey and this propaganda of Turks killing Kurds is bullshit?". Nearly never. So we helped these people by giving them refuge and home, does it help Turkey, nope it doesnt. Same thing with the Syrian refugees, most a headache and future terrorist/separatist problem. They already going around claiming that "secularists" are devils. Fled like cowards and losers, but big at talking bullshit.
Turks helped lots of people throughout history, in nearly all cases we lost from it. It never brought any tangible benefits to the Turkish state.
If Turks want to win, they got to start supporting their own first and foremost. The peoples on earth who do this the best, tend to succeed the most in all things. When we look at Turks and i see it here in england, Turks don't support each other the way say greeks or armenians do here.
I could give you countless examples of nations whose people were helped by the Ottomans alone, like the Irish, the dutch, the french, the polish, all of them erased this history from the minds of their people.
Polish are some of the most racist and anti-islamic people on earth, while they forget that not so long ago their people fled to Ottoman lands as refugees. The Irish were starved by the English. The Turks sent them aid. The dutch got their independence from the hapsburgs because of Turkish Ottoman support. Many stories like this exist of Turks helping others. It didnt benefit us in the long.
The slavs hate Turks in the balkans, without realising it was the Turks who facilitated their migrations in the first place to those lands when they were under brutal attack by the Vikings. Lands Turks ruled and settled in at the time.
The KRG was built up and protected by Turkey, still they work to claim half of Turkey belongs to the historically stateless Kurds. I could go on and on and on.
We saved the Jews from extermination, they did everything in the end to destroy the Ottoman state and still today they work to undermine us.
Turks help each other if you want your people to succeed, don't waste your time on others.
