    EVEN TOLERANT EUROPE CAN'T CHANGE A TURK

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish community in France is among the most
    non-integratable ones, military psychologist Davit Jamalyan told a
    news conference in Yerevan. "If a Turk does not change in tolerant
    environment, how can he be expected to change in Turkey?" Jamalyan
    questioned, adding that Armenia, still, has to seek rapprochement,
    having a realistic view on the issue.

    At that, he considers Turkish youth's unawareness as to Armenian
    Genocide to be an overstatement. "The question is whether they will
    be sorry for their predecessors' deeds after the truth becomes known,"
    Jamalyan noted.

    Commenting on apologies, made by Turkish student, following his
    denial of Genocide, the psychologist noted that the apology would
    not be uttered should the same happen in Turkey. "An inner pressure
    is necessary for a Turk to change," Jamalyan emphasized.

    Mustafa Dogan, a 13-year-old Turk, was suspended from a school in
    Nancy for two days for denial of the Armenian Genocide.

    Dogan's history teacher asked a question about the Armenian Genocide
    in a written exam. Having previously argued with the teacher over
    the issue, the Turkish student wrote, "Even if it did happen, they
    deserved it."

    Following the quarrel, the school's disciplinary committee suspended
    Mustafa Dogan for two days and gave him an assignment in which he
    was to recognize the validity of the genocide within two days. The
    principal of the Jacques Marquette secondary school, Francis Vignola
    said he supported the sanctions placed on Mustafa Dogan.
