/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Nevsehir University rector Filiz Kilic said the
university has set up a department of Armenian language and literature
but has been unable to offer courses yet as no instructors have been
found.
She said that although the Higher Education Board (YOK) gave its
permission to establish the department, the university has had
difficulties in finding Armenian-speaking instructors.
"We have been unable to find any available candidates in Turkey. We
are now looking for instructors in Azerbaijan. The department needs at
least three instructors before it can begin accepting students and
offering courses," she said, Todayâ??s Zaman reports.
The Armenian community of Istanbul numbers 60 thousand people, who
speak the western Armenian dialect and canâ??t be tutors.
