    Semantics Change to Turkish Text Books on 1915 Genocide
    [ 2009/01/22 | 15:06 ] politics

    Hurriyet reports that the 1915 Armenian Genocide will no loner be taught to Turkish students using phrases such as “baseless” or “so-called genocide”. Instead, the 8th grade text books that cover the issue will refer to the Genocide as the “1915 events”. The cirriculum change comes after a review by the Coordination Board to Fight Baseless Genocide Claims (ASIMKK), the Education Ministry and the Head Council of Education and Morality.
    In line with the views of ASİMKK, the 8th grade curriculum of the course “Revolution History and Kemalism” was amended. The former curriculum’s statement that “historical development of Turkish-Armenian relations and Armenian allegations will be taught,” has been replaced by a new one saying that “Turkish-Armenian relations, 1915 events and related Armenian allegations will be taught.”

    They are slowly trying to remove the foot in their mouth,one toe at a time.
    "All truth passes through three stages:
    First, it is ridiculed;
    Second, it is violently opposed; and
    Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

    Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

      Yeah, literally. It's good to hear though. Their afraid that once the Turkish people find out about the truth, they'll revolt and blame the Turkish gov. for lying all this time. So their changing the books now. Like that'll stop the Turkish mass from breaking their heads off after finding out about everything.
