Turkish representatives in Kosovo were shocked after learning that
south-western Turkey is depicted as Kurdistan and north-west of Turkey
as a part of Armenia in the textbooks used in Kosovo's schools,
Haberler website reports. Besides the maps, there were images and
texts offending Turks in the textbooks of history and geography.
In this regard, the chairman of Union of Turkish Teachers of Kosovo
made a statement, saying they had translated all offensive language
and references to Turkey in the textbooks from Albanian into Turkish.
He noted that the Turkish flag is trampled by a horse hoof in the
history textbook of the 4th grade. Moreover, the textbook contains
numerous insults against Turkish soldiers. "This is not only an insult
to the Ottomans, but also to the entire Turkish people," he said.
