The biggest city in Canada, Toronto, has decided to include a course
about the genocide on Armenians and Assyrians in the education system
as a new subject. The subject will be called "Genocide in the past
and today". It is not a compulsory subject, and it is up to the high
schools whether they want to teach the subject or not.
The subject deals with all genocides in history, from Seyfo --- the
genocide of Assyrians, Greeks and Armenians 1915 -- The Holocaust
and the latest genocide in Rwanda in the 1990s.
Turkish organizations have reacted against the new subject,
and arranged strong protests against the decision. Other Muslim
organizations from other countries have also joined the Turkish
protests. The organizations motivate these strong protests by saying
that this puts the lives of Muslim students in danger.
