The East Turkistan Education and Solidarity Association (ETESA; Uyghur: شەرقىي تۈركىستان مائارىپ ۋە ھەمكارلىق جەمئىيىتى, romanized: Sherqiy Türkistan Maarip ve Hemkarliq Jemiyiti) is a Uyghur Islamist organisation based in Istanbul, Turkey.[1]
The government of China has accused the group of having ties to the Turkistan Islamic Party (formerly known as the East Turkestan Islamic Movement or ETIM), a claim it denies.[2]
