NEW TURKISH MAPS…

01-10-2009

A new series of school textbooks were published in Turkey. The
textbooks contained a number of misprints, distorted historical facts
and mistaken dates. Yet, the biggest scandal was caused by the map,
marking Cyprus, Northern Iraq, Nakhichevan, Armenia and Artsakh
as a part of Turkey. According to Milliyet, Education Ministry
representative rejected the textbook in connection with mistakes
allowed. Still, the Milliyet itself, enumerating cities and regions
belonging to Turkey, does not mention Armenia as a separate state,
included in the "scandalous map". Milliyet published the article
under the title of "Scandalous map".
