    Online Armenian history textbook to be launched
    09.03.2009 14:37 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian students in the United States called on the
    academic councils of the universities in the U.S. to remove from
    circulation the book titled `The Armenian People: From Ancient to
    Modern Times' because of the numerous mistakes it contains, the
    student initiative group told PanARMENIAN.Net.

    `Outrageous mistakes and falsifications in The Armenian People: From
    Ancient to Modern Times are countless. Any student, who would make
    such horrible mistakes during an exam, would receive an F and
    fail. So, how come this anti-scholastic book and its authors have
    continued to use this book since 1997, and even have republished it in
    2004 without making ANY CORRECTIONS whatsoever? For many years,
    Armenian scholars from Armenia have repeatedly exposed and criticized
    this falsified book in their scientific publications. Yet, the chief
    editor continues to insist that the critics of this unscientific
    textbook are violating the freedom of academic expression,' the
    students' letter says.

    On February 23, 2009, Armenian Ministry of Diaspora sent an official
    letter which stated that the efforts of creating an online Armenian
    History textbook for colleges and universities are already
    underway. This textbook will be in many languages (Armenian, English,
    Russian etc.) and will be available online at the official site of the
    Armenian National Academy of Sciences for a free download to all
    students of Armenian History and Culture. Finally, the New Generation
    of Diasporans will have at their disposal an Armenian History textbook
    that will contain genuine Armenian Studies book, without
    falsifications and distortions.
