ARMENIANS PUTTING PRESSURE ON EDUCATION SYSTEM OF GERMANY
[February 15, 2005, 13:13:42]

The Armenians are saddened with decision of the Berlin-Brandenburg
federal government on remove of the topic on the so-called “Armenian
genocide” from the curriculums and historical textbooks.

The Armenian communities in Germany have launched protest campaign to
propagandize their insidious goal, AzerTAj correspondent reports. Of
course, they want to attract attention of the international community
and gain support for the territorial claims towards Turkey and
aggressive policy against Azerbaijan. The Armenians have sent a letter
of protest to the government of Berlin-Brandenburg and minister of
education of this province demanding to keep the mentioned “topic”
in the historical textbooks, the “Oranienburqer Generalanzeiger”
newspaper writes.

Head of the Berlin-Brandenburg government Mr. Platsek has received
delegation of the “rebellious Armenians” at the Berlin Senate saying
their demands contradict national interests of Germany.
