Policy of enmity and hatred against Armenians is pursued in educational institutions of Turkey.

The examination tests for spring session included questions of racist character, which caused discontent of most of the students of history department, Dicle University. One of these questions contained anti-Armenian wordings, such as “traitor”, “enemy collaborator”, “stabbing in the back”, reports Turkish DIHA news agency.   

The question alleged that no Genocide ever occurred in the Ottoman Turkey and half of Armenians died of illnesses during resettlement to “safe territories”. It is mentioned that some Armenians just chose to leave Turkey themselves. Students are offered to choose the right and wrong answers.

Some students say they only chose the “right” variant lest they should fail the exam.

“We know the history was different. The racist questions are aimed to achieve certain goals,” the students complain. 

In his interview with DIHA the editor of Armenian-Turkish Agos newspaper Rober Koptas noted that these expressions of racism are not surprising.

“As a result of this ideology of enmity and hatred, there are many people in Turkey who want to kill Christians, Armenians and Kurds,” said the editor of an Armenian descent.
