YTB welcomes citizens abroad on their way back

Every summer season, the Presidency for Turks Abroad and Related Communities (YTB) works to ensure that the journeys of citizens, most of whom live in Europe, both to Turkey and back to their countries of residence are comfortable and peaceful. From the border gates of Serbia to Kapıkule Border Gate, the organization carries out both welcome and farewell activities at many points. At these points, many needs of citizens are met and gifts are presented to children. The return journeys of the citizens, who spent their leave periods with their relatives in their hometowns, have started these days. Last year, YTB reopened the resting and playgrounds created by YTB in a large area at Kapıkule Border Gate. Citizens departing from different cities of Anatolia find the opportunity to rest in this area created by YTB before leaving Turkey, while children have fun in the playgrounds. see more..
