ANKARA. - The question on Armenians' `cruelties' is not included in
the Turkish schools exam questionnaires due to numerous complaints.
The question offending Armenians, sent by National Education
department of Bakirkoy district in Istanbul, was not included in the
school exam questionnaires, Turkish Vatan reports.
Former head of the Confederation of Public Workers' Unions (KESK) Sami
Evren who was present at the exam opposed expressions containing
racism and discrimination and left the school. He stated it is not
right to hold exam containing such questions.
`It is not only wrong to speak about documents on `cruelties
perpetrated by the Armenians' but also address schoolchildren with
such question. It is equal to the expression `you have perpetrated
cruelties'. What would a Turkish student feel if he was called `Turk
barbarian' in German school?' he wonders.
