    The president of Higher Education Board (YOK) of Turkey, Yusuf Ziya
    Ozcan, requested in the mandate sent to the offices of university
    rectors that Jewish and Armenian students in Turkey be allowed to take
    a vacation during their religious holidays, Hurriyet daily reported.

    The mandate also extends to Jewish and Armenian academic staff being
    able to benefit from the same right, Hurriyet wrote.

    Therefore the religious festivals of Jewish and Armenian students
    were recognized at an institutional level for the first time.

    The YOK also sent the mandate to the chief rabbi's office and the
    Armenian Patriarchal Presidency to inform of the decision.
