ANKARA. – The question on Armenians’ ‘cruelties’ is not included in the Turkish schools exam questionnaires due to numerous complaints.
The question offending Armenians, sent by National Education department of Bakirkoy district in Istanbul, was not included in the school exam questionnaires, Turkish Vatan reports.
Former head of the Confederation of Public Workers’ Unions (KESK) Sami Evren who was present at the exam opposed expressions containing racism and discrimination and left the school. He stated it is not right to hold exam containing such questions.
“It is not only wrong to speak about documents on ‘cruelties perpetrated by the Armenians’ but also address schoolchildren with such question. It is equal to the expression ‘you have perpetrated cruelties’. What would a Turkish student feel if he was called ‘Turk barbarian’ in German school?” he wonders.
