<h2>
	How They Treat Pakistanis</h2>

	Just like China, Turkey is one the closest and most dependable friends Pakistan has got. Pak Turkish friendship is very admired and promoted by not only the governments but the people of both countries. Tourists of both countries can tell how much they were respected when they visited the other country. Pakistan and Turkey are also working on many projects together. They have always been ahead for each other at every difficult time. Pakistani people particularly students are liked in Turkey. Pakistani students have more chances of getting Turkish visa with further probability of achieving permanent residency.&nbsp;

	The following video I found is from the time of Turkish coup d&#39;&eacute;tat mentioned above. Pakistan had also shown their support for Turkey. After the Turkish government had won, people were celebrating all around the country. In this video, Pakistani and Turkish are celebrating together. Even the both flags can be seen together. They also raised slogans for both countries. This shows how strong Turkey and Pakistan friendship bonds are.

	Cost of living in Turkey is not very high. It mostly depends on the city and how you manage your expenses. A student&rsquo;s biggest expense after tuition fees is the accommodation. University hostels are generally cheaper than private residence. Second biggest cost is Food. One good thing for Pakistani students is that they won&rsquo;t have any trouble finding Halal food in Turkey. Following table shows the living cost of one semester in Turkey.
