ANTALYA - Jean Michel Thibaux, the French historian who had previously
applied for Turkish citizenship in order to protest against a bill
adopted by French National Assembly on criminalizing the denial of
so-called Armenian genocide, accepted Akdeniz University's(AU) offer
to become a lecturer at the same university. Informing the press on
the issue, Akdeniz University's Vice-Chancellor Mehmet Aktekin said
that Mr. Thibaux did not demand any remuneration in return of his
lectures at AU.
Noting that Thibaux would teach lessons either at the Faculty of
Communication or Science&Literature, Aktekin said, "We will arrange
housing inside the campus for the professor. He will come to Antalya
and start his lessons as soon as his citizenship process is completed".
Aktekin also stressed that Thibaux would arrive in Mediterranean city
of Antalya on December 18th with his wife who works at the French
Ministry of Defense.
Thibaux would deliver a conference on "The First Crusade and The
Clash of Religions" on December 21st at AU campus as well.
