Modern Turkey’s territory divided between Armenia and Kurdistan in Kosovo textbooks

Kosovo Turks are outraged by the fact that Kosovo textbooks represent the north-eastern part of the modern Turkey as an Armenian territory, while the south-eastern part is marked out as Kurdistan.

As Dogan Turkish news agency reported, the textbooks on history and geography contain information presenting the Turkish nation in negative light.

“We received the textbooks from an Italian or American organization and took immediate steps to withdraw them form use. We were shocked to find out that some of those textbooks are still in use at Kosovo schools,” the coordinator of Turkic-language education at Prizren city municipality, Orhan Volkan stated.
