PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian grade school students in Turkey have
prepared a document that points out the usage of degrading expressions
about the Armenian community in Turkish textbooks, which they plan
to submit to the Ministry of Education in a request for an unbiased
portrayal of the community.
Education Minister Omer Dincer held a meeting in Ankara two weeks
ago with a group of grade school students from Istanbul's private
Pangaltı Armenian Secondary School. The students prepared a document
that included all misrepresentations on Armenians in Turkish textbooks
used in grade school and high school education, which Dincer asked
them in the meeting to do "as homework."
The minister promised to analyze their comments in order to reach a
conclusion on Armenian misrepresentation in the textbooks, Today's
