Syrian refugees to study at Kabardino-Balkarian university for free

The Kabardino-Balkarian State University named after K.M.Berbekov has started giving lessons to circassians who had left Syria. 104 of them entered the university on September 1. Barasbi Karamurzov, President of the university, said that 526 foreigners, 84% of whom were from faraway states from South Korea to the US, had studied at the university.
