According toErmenihaber.am website, an exam questionnaire at the
Faculty of History at Dicle University of Turkey includes a question
sowing hatred towards Armenians and denying the Armenian Genocide. The
question is as follows:
"No Armenian Genocide occurred in the Ottoman Empire. Some of
Armenians cooperating with Russians and hitting the Ottoman army from
behind died due to betrayal, some emigrated from the country at the
suggestion of Germans and died of hunger, diseases and cold, so the
Armenian population in Turkey decreased."
Answer
a) correct
b) incorrect
The students who answer "no" lose a point.
The lecturer who compiled the questionnaire said he sees nothing
extraordinary about this question and added: "I don't tell them to go
and kill Armenians. I also have Armenian students who oppose this
viewpoint. They think so, and we can't help it."
