The East Turkistan Education and Solidarity Association (abbreviated ETESA) is a Uyghur separatist organisation based in Istanbul, Turkey.
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.
The ETESA states that their purpose is to "educate and bring up Turkistani (Turkic) Muslims" by "meeting their Islamic, social, cultural, spiritual and earthly needs".
