    TURKISH EDUCATION MINISTRY TO HEAR MINORITIES' APPEAL

    Vestnik Kavkaza
    Sept 6 2012
    Russia

    The Armenian community is preparing to present a report to the Turkish
    education minister, requesting certain modifications to the regulations
    at minority schools.

    In a report to Education Minister Omer Dincer, the Armenian community
    will demand the abolition of the practice of appointing Turkish deputy
    principals to minority schools.

    Yedikule Surp Pırgic Armenian Hospital Foundation head Bedros
    Å~^irinoglu is set to meet Dincer in the upcoming days. According to
    the report, the community will demand the abolition of Turkish deputy
    principals being appointed to minority schools, which started being
    implemented during the 1970s. The report will also demand that the
    terms of offices of Turkish language and Turkish history teachers be
    determined by the schools themselves.

    Speaking to the Hurriyet Daily News, Å~^irinoglu said he had some
    concerns about the subject of the deputy principals, but that he
    was planning to prioritize the issue of teacher appointments at the
    presentation of the report.

    "Of course, the state should give citizens their rights, but this
    should be carried out with a proper attitude. I am planning to give
    priority to the issue of the teachers' terms of office, and I believe
    we will get positive results [from the meeting]," he said.
