    The "Armenian Genocide" has been included in textbooks in the German
    province of Brandenbourg's curriculum once again.

    A Der Tagesspiegel newspaper report said Armenian allegations,
    formerly removed from the curriculum as a consequence of Turkey's
    diplomatic initiatives, had been reprinted in supplementary textbooks
    by the Brandenbourg Education Ministry.

    The report cited Brandenbourg as the only province that included the
    allegations in the supplementary consisting of 103 pages and prepared
    by the Institute for School and Media (LISUM) in cooperation with the
    Institute of Diaspora and Genocide Studies in Ruhr University
    recently. According to the article, the said textbook included not
    only the Armenian allegations but also deemed the events' as the
    first biggest systematic genocide of the 20th century. Der
    Tagesspiegel further said the book also dealt with the official view
    of the Turkish Embassy in Berlin in that Turks and Armenians both
    became victims and committers at the same time.
