Armenian children of illegal status in Turkey can study in schools
“Ermenihaber.am” news site informs the children of Armenians having illegal residence status in Turkey can study in Armenian schools.
According to the source, Archbishop Aram Ateshyan’s two-year-old struggle for the education of Armenian children in the local schools has finally been successfully finished.
Turkish PM Erdogan authorized Education Minister of Turkey Omer Dincer to sign a decree, which says children of Armenians who have illegal residence status can study in Armenian schools.
“We’ve received the long anticipated permit. We’re happy. Though those children will be invited pupils, they won’t pass exams and get any diploma, we plan to make certificates for them saying they have finished school,” Aram Ateshyan said.
