Ninety Turkish youths living in Austria and Canada visited Turkey last week to learn more about their homeland.
Under the Evliya Çelebi Youth Bridges Project, they toured sites in Istanbul, Bursa, Çanakkale and Edirne provinces, Turkey's Abroad Turks and Relative Communities Presidency (YTB) said Thursday in a statement.
