GERMAN STATE TAKES OUT THE TERM ARMENIAN GENOCIDE FROM ITS HISTORY BOOKS
Brandenburg, which was the first German state that included the term ‘Armenian genocide’ into its history books used in the 9th and 10th classes since 2002, decided to take out the term from the curriculum of the schools. State’s Spokesman of the Education Ministry Thomas Hainz said that they found improper to give the so-called Armenian genocide as the only historic example in the massacres and genocides section in their history books, and therefore decided to take the term out. Turkey’s Chief Consul Aydin Durusoy had sent a letter to the state of Brandenburg, giving a harsh reaction to the use of the term. As a result of the diplomatic initiatives of the Turkish Foreign Ministry, Durusoy, state’s Premier Matthias Platzeck and Education Minister Holger Rupprecht two weeks ago had agreed to take out the term from the schools’ syllabus. /Hurriyet/
