Nevsehir University is preparing to open new departments on Armenian,
Greek and Hebrew languages.
The Dean of Faculty of Science and Letters at Nevsehir University
Prof. Dr. Metin Hulagu says the university will be the first one in
Turkey to open departments on the three languages.
"We want to open new departments on the three languages to promote
Turkey’s relations with Armenia, Greece and Israel. There is
presently a lack of Turks speaking these languages fluently," Dr.
Hulagu said.
Nevsehir University is awaiting for a permission from the Turkish
Higher Board of Education (YOK) in order to officially open the
language departments.
Nevsehir University was established on May 17th, 2007. The campus is
located in the central Anatolian province of Nevsehir.
