The International Symposium on Turkish Language Teaching and Turkology in the Balkans is organized to bring together scholars working on the Balkans in various fields of social sciences, particularly in Turkish language teaching and Turkology activities; to identify works, studies, and interactions produced within a cultural context; and to present current research for the benefit of the public by evaluating its outcomes.
