The Turkish Embassy in France sent an official note to the country's
Education Ministry and required a review of the material, in connection
with the Armenian Genocide, which is included in France's new history
textbooks.
The Turkish note claimed that the respective information in these
textbooks is not based on scientific facts, the Turkish Samanyolu
website informs.
And the French Education Ministry responded by noting that in 2001
France formally recognized the events in 1915 as genocide, and
therefore including them in the textbooks is very normal.
"The material included in the textbooks is prepared by scientists
and editors, and, in terms of scientific genuineness, we must note
that they were studied thoroughly," the French Education Ministry's
response stated.
