The ministry had distributed "Sar? Gelin -- The True Face of the Armenian Question," a documentary film developed by the General Staff, to all schools around the country, requesting that all students see the film and asked school directors return a "conclusive report" to the related administration by Feb 29, 2009.
The ministry said in a statement Wednesday that the film was sent to schools for the benefit of the teachers, not the students.
There was no directive suggesting watching of the documentary was compulsory in schools, it added. "But some schools used the film inappropriately," the statement said.
Some 500 Armenians and intellectuals sent an open letter to the prime minister protesting the ministry
