ISTANBUL -- Turkey's Police Academy, where the future police officers
of the country undergo training, will teach recruits Kurdish,
Armenian, Arabic and other languages commonly spoken in many parts
of the country.
Restructuring its curriculum, the academy will offer selective courses
on the abovementioned languages as well as in Greek, Russian, Farsi,
Georgian and Turkic languages.
Through the new courses, Turkish police aim to improve its
communication with minorities in the country as well as immigrants,
particularly displaced Syrians and Iraqis taking shelter in Turkey.
The Turkish National Police Academy educates and trains middle ranking
and high-ranking police officers.
Apart from language courses, the police training process will undergo
a major overhaul which will see a shorter training and implementation
of a series of changes to bring them in compliance with standards of
police training in EU countries.
