(Anadolu) The Turkish minority in Greece is pushing for the inclusion of Turkish lessons in the curriculums of state kindergartens in regions where many Turkish Muslims live, they said in a joint statement Thursday.
As the Greek Education Ministry plans to start English-language activities in kindergartens next year, the Turkish minority asked the government to also offer Turkish lessons.
The joint statement was signed by many local parties and NGOS, including the Friendship Equality Peace Party (FEP).
The statement stressed that the Turkish minority has educational autonomy and rights under the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne.
