Turkey to open Armenian departments

ISTANBUL – In a move to contribute to Turkish-Armenian ties, Turkey’s
Higher Board of Education, or YÃ-K, will open Armenian language and
literature departments at Turkish universities, the Anatolia News
Agency reported Friday.

Trakya and NevÅ?ehir universities will accept a total of 40
students in the department. BoÄ?aziçi University has been
teaching Armenian language since last year.
