Turkey’s Armenian Patriarch Mesrob II is reported to have asked
Turkish President Ahmet Necdet Sezer to veto the Private Education
Institutions Bill.

In his letter to Sezer, the patriarch expressed his concerns about the
bill within the context of reciprocity related to the minority schools
and asked the president to veto a clause in Article 5 of the bill.

Sezer, however, ignored the Patriarch’s demand.
