Turan University is an innovative corporation founded in 1992. In our university there are various organizations that allow the student to develop as a person. One of such organizations is the intellectual debate club “Sirius”. Despite the fact that this organization is only 6 years old, it has already reached many heights, having prepared the winners of republican and regional debate tournaments.
In the first days of April, the next Sirius CUP VI tournament for schoolchildren was held at the highest level under the auspices of the Turan pedestal. The participants of the competition did their best and showed an interesting fight for the main prize – the “Rector’s Grant” for 4 years on behalf of the rector of the University “Turan” Rahman Alshanovich Alshanov.
