The fake passport scandal for university admissions is making headlines in Turkey!

A new scandal has emerged alongside the fake diploma and e-signature scandals from last year. Turkish students are reportedly registering in medical and law faculties using fake foreign passports.

According to journalist Murat Ağırel, hundreds of Turkish students entered universities through illegal means. This situation came to light following complaints made to CIMER.

As a result of these applications made with fake passports, students are unfairly benefiting from international student quotas. This situation poses a threat to our country's legal and national security elements.

There are also claims that some university directors turned a blind eye to these fake applications and facilitated the processes. It is emphasized that this situation needs to be thoroughly investigated.

The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office is deepening the investigation into the fake documents. As the dimensions of this scandal come to light, it is noted that citizens should be cautious.
