For decades, the teaching of Turkish history at Turkish universities has considered the country as unique, without putting it in a global or regional context.
A guarantee of academic freedom stems from a controversy that erupted in late 2000, when Halil Berktay, a history professor at Sabanci University, enraged Turkish nationalists with his revisionist interpretation of Turkey's "Armenian question" - the historically unresolved issue of whether Armenians were the victims of genocide in 1915, as the Ottoman empire was disintegrating.
For decades, Turkey has rejected all claims of genocide and has insisted that, while there may have been crimes committed against the Armenians in those chaotic days, modern Turkey cannot be held responsible. Prof Berktay became the first Turkish historian working at a Turkish university to challenge that view.
In the furore that followed, Sabanci University stood by the professor. Other universities, especially those that rely on the state for funding, may have yielded to pressure to dismiss him.
