Nevsehir University is looking for Armenian-speaking academics for
its Armenian Culture and Literature Faculty, the university's rector
has said, Hurriyet Daily reported.
Professor Filiz Kılıc said the rector's office of Nevsehir University
has obtained the Higher Education Board, or YOK's, permission to set
up the faculty but due to their inability to find Armenian speaking
academics, the faculty is not operational.
Kılıc spoke to the Anatolia news agency about the university's
efforts to find Armenian-speaking academics in order to accept
students in the faculty and pointed to the university's ties to the
Turkish Language Foundation and Turkish History Foundation as possible
options in its search for personnel. "We have searched for academics
that would be able to lecture in the Armenian Culture and Literature
Faculty but could not find one in Turkey.
"Now we are searching in Azerbaijan. We have Armenian texts but we
do not have anyone to translate them," said Kılıc, adding that they
need at least three academics in order to open the faculty.
