    The Linguistic Society of Turkey has published
    Armenian-Turkish/Turkish-Armenia dictionary.

    Director of the Society, Professor Å~^ukru Haluk Akalyn said in an
    interview with Hurriyet that the dictionary was of great interest
    in Turkey.

    "We are neighbors and have to know each other's languages. Sadly,
    for more than 100 years we were unable to publish a more serious
    dictionary. In order to fill this gap, we started creating this
    dictionary. We are also going to open Department of Armenian Studies
    in our universities. There are few those speak Armenian language
    among our historians," the Turkish professor said.

    The Turkish scholar also noted contribution of Armenian linguists to
    development of modern Turkish language.

    "The Armenians have a great service in Turkey in development of
    the Turkish language. The author of one of the first etymological
    dictionary of the Turkish language was Petros Kerestejyan. Another
    Armenian linguist Petros Zeki Karapetyan is also the author of a number
    of dictionaries of Turkish language. He compiled more than 50 textbooks
    to teach Turkish language in the Armenian schools," said the professor.

    Talking about future plans, Akalyn noted that they were preparing to
    reissue the French-Armenian dictionary published in Istanbul in 1884.

    Armenian-Turkish phrasebook will also be published, he added.
