    TURKISH PUPIL'S PARENTS PROTEST: COMPOSITION ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE ASSIGNED AT AMERICAN SCHOOL

    NEW YORK, JANUARY 11, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. A Turkish pupil
    was assigned to write a composition on Armenian Genocide at a school
    of New York's Manhattan district, in response to which his parents
    sent a letter of protest to school's administration, to Turkey's
    Consulate in New York.

    According to Marmara, a video material on massacres of Armenians was
    shown to the pupils before the composition.

    Letter's authors assert that the information given to the pupils was
    received from biassed sources. The Consulate, in its turn, sent an
    application of complaint to school's administration and called all
    Turks residing in America for immediately informing the Consulate
    about such cases.

    In this connection Turkish press reminded that World History has been
    taught at New York's colleges since 1966 and within the framework
    of it the events of World War I and 1915 are covered from Armenian
    point of view: Armenian books and documents were used as sources.
