YEREVAN, AUGUST 2, ARMENPRESS: The process of coding nonMuslims in
Turkey since 1923 continues till nowadays according to circulars of
1983 and 2001. "Armenpress" reports making a reference on Turkish
T24 internet newspaper that reporter of "Radikal" Kemal Jengiz
declared that it is the "spirit of fascist state". "In modern Turkey
non-Muslim citizens always felt the pressure from the state. Already is
half-known the spirit of fascist-country which for hundred years looks
at its citizens without nonconfidence, threatens, makes them to leave
the country, seizes their property and etc. Those numbers discover
the codes kept in black boxes after doing crimes since 1915. Those
numbers are codes of modern Turkey," stated Jengiz mentioning that
the discovery is a good opportunity for Diaspora Armenians to use it
European Court on Human Rights in judicial cases of compensation.
Another reporter of the same newspaper Ali Topuz thinks if the country
did not have those codes it would be difficult to seize the property
of people. "The coding continues since 1924 according to circulars
adopted in 1983 and 2001. Those codes are not for attempting school
but for seizing one's property. The country also used those codes in
order not to employ non-Muslims for satte, public jobs for differing
them from Turks," thinks the reporter.
Professor of Istanbul University Baskn Oran announced that he hears
about such code for the first time. "IS a code used for eliminating
non-Muslims. Such coding is a violation of human rights as in Lausanne
treaty does not exist reverberation about any national minority. If
Armenians, Greeks and Jewish are coded why Yazidis, Syrians are not
coded?" he said.
Researcher Rfat Ali also said that he is surprised and hears about it
for the first time. "I do not think that coding is used since Lausanne.
Possibly it began later but concretely when is not known. We
should understand whether it is a policy or an exceptional case,"
he mentioned.
A note of educational directorate of Istanbul discovered the fact of
putting secret code "2" in ID documents of citizens of Armenian origin.
About this informs "Agos" newspaper mentioning that in one of official
documents is said that in the ID documents of citizens which were
recognized as national minority by Lausanne treaty must be put secret
codes which are determined for Greeks "1", for Armenians "2" and for
Jewish "3".
It was found out after a woman of Armenian origin who lately returned
to her roots accepting Christianity in Armenian church, decided to
send her son to Armenian school. The woman changed the note about her
religion in the document by defined way. But in the passport of the
father the religion is mentioned "Muslim". Directorate of Armenian
school demanded to bring a note from Istanbul educational directorate
where will be mentioned that there is no any obstacle for accepting
that child into Armenian school.
Assistant to educational director of Istanbul directorate Ahmed
Molak applied to educational section of Sishli district in order to
find out whether the mother of the child has changed her religion,
name, or not and whether the secret code "2" for citizens of Armenian
origin exist in the passport and if it exists explain to the parent
what she has to do for giving the child to Armenian school.
The newspaper writes that the struggle of the lawyer and parents
of giving the child to Armenian school continues as there is no
official body giving response to their demand. "It is not known why
since 1923 is used "code of nationality" and why it is necessary,"
wrote the newspaper addressing the question to Turkish Parliament,
government and ministries of internal affairs and education.
