National Education Ministry representatives told that ministry started to work on introduction of Armenian language in schools as optional subject. Initiative will be continued with optional Arabian and Jewish language classes.
As Turkey continue initiatives toward normalization of relations with Armenia, National Education Ministry prepares to make another gesture. Haberturk website reported that one of the representatives from Ministry told, "We are struggling to accommodate our educational system with world standarts. In this regard, we started to work on initiation of optional Armenian, Arabian and Jewish language classes. We will look if they can be optional classes or cources."
It is reported that the initiative of National Education Ministry is being made within the frames of Turkey's "zero problems with neighbours" policy. The initiative will be enforced from the next year if Council of Ministers approves the project. "We should not avoid learning languages of our neighbours. Jewish language should be added to that," said the ministry representative.
National Education Ministry also made steps for providing education for the children of illegal Armenian workers in Turkey. Ministry distributed free textbooks to the Armenian schools in Istanbul.
