    The University of Ankara announced it will launch an Armenian language
    course toward the end of 2010.

    According to a member of the university's governing board, Dr. Durmus
    Gunay, a dwindling number of people in Turkey still speak Armenian.

    "Increasingly, the organizers are looking for members of staff who
    speak Armenian, and therefore there is a demand for such language
    courses," he said.

    Dr. Gunay said the understanding of universities has changed over the
    past 20 to 30 years. "We are going through a period of globalization.

    Therefore it is crucial to train people in as many languages as
    possible," he said.

    "The focus is on English as a second language at the university," Dr.

    Gunay said, adding that the institution is aspired to have many
    language courses available for as many students as possible.

    The curriculum drawn up by the university for the new language course
    has been reviewed and approved by the Higher Education Board, or YOK.
