ISTANBUL - The new education period has been started. The minority schools also opened the education session. There are 16 Armenian schools with 3219 students and 412 teachers. Many more Armenian students attend the ‘normal’ schools.
This year about 454 children were registered to the Armenian kindergartens. 2107 students were registered to the primary and secondary schools. 658 Armenian students were registered to the Armenian high schools.
Apart from the normal courses, the Turkish Armenian schools also give Armenian language and Armenian religion courses to their students.
Patriarch Mesrop II, religious leader of Turkish Armenians, said that the Armenian language courses and Arme
nian culture courses in these schools are crucial to maintain the existence of Armenian minority in Turkey. The main problem of the Armenian population in Turkey is voluntary ‘assimilation’. Many Armenians do not attend the Armenian Church and Armenian schools. Another problem is the mixed marriages.
