GERMAN STATE TAKES OUT THE TERM ARMENIAN GENOCIDE FROM ITS HISTORY
BOOKS
Brandenburg, which was the first German state that included the term
`Armenian genocide' into its history books used in the 9th and 10th
classes since 2002, decided to take out the term from the curriculum
of the schools. State's Spokesman of the Education Ministry Thomas
Hainz said that they found improper to give the so-called Armenian
genocide as the only historic example in the massacres and genocides
section in their history books, and therefore decided to take the
term out. Turkey's Chief Consul Aydin Durusoy had sent a letter to
the state of Brandenburg, giving a harsh reaction to the use of the
term. As a result of the diplomatic initiatives of the Turkish
Foreign Ministry, Durusoy, state's Premier Matthias Platzeck and
Education Minister Holger Rupprecht two weeks ago had agreed to take
out the term from the schools' syllabus. /Hurriyet/
