Free school books for minority schools

"Free school books for minority schools
ANKARA - The Education Ministry will begin distributing textbooks in other languages free of charge to minority schools this academic year. The decision was made after an Armenian-origin citizen, Varujan Turaç, sent a petition to the presidency requesting that minority schools in the country be provided textbooks in languages other than Turkish free of charge. Minorities in Turkey are defined under the terms of the Lausanne Treaty."
