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 Ömer Dinçer 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 Dinçer 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 Zaman reported.
