    TURKISH UNIVERSITY FAILS TO FIND LECTURERS FOR PIONEERING ARMENIAN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT

    Hurriyet Daily News, Turkey

    EDÄ°RNE - Dogan News Agency

    Lectures at the Armenian Language and Literature department of a
    university in Turkey's northwestern province of Edirne have not been
    held since the beginning of the 2014-2015 academic year, due to the
    lack of instructors.

    The 16 students of the Armenian Language and Literature department
    at Trakya University in Edirne, which was established by the Higher
    Education Board (YOK) three years ago, have been unable to attend
    classes as no lecturer with the necessary qualifications could
    be found.

    Trakya University Literature Faculty Dean Prof. Recep Durmaz said
    they could not find any new lecturers to replace the previous teachers.

    "When the department was opening, we brought lecturers who were
    native speakers. The lecturers, whose contracts came to an end, did
    not renew their contracts. We could not reach a new deal and therefore
    we cannot provide the education," said Durmaz, adding that they were
    still searching for lecturers.

    Ahmet Duman, a junior student at the department, said he had enrolled
    in the department three years ago and until this year, he had attended
    his classes without any problems.

    "Right now, we are taking Russian classes once a week. We cannot have
    other classes because we lack the lecturers. Other departments have
    had their first exams. The final exams are soon, but there are still
    no lecturers," said Duman.

    He added that the faculty had offered to move them to other
    departments, but two months have passed and the final decision on
    the issue has yet to be made.

    "We want to continue studying in the department that we chose,"
    Duman said.
