NEW YORK, JANUARY 11, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. A Turkish pupil was assigned to write a composition on Armenian Genocide at a school of New York's Manhattan district, in response to which his parents sent a letter of protest to school's administration, to Turkey's Consulate in New York. According to Marmara, a video material on massacres of Armenians was shown to the pupils before the composition. Letter's authors assert that the information given to the pupils was received from biassed sources. The Consulate, in its turn, sent an application of complaint to school's administration and called all Turks residing in America for immediately informing the Consulate about such cases. In this connection Turkish press reminded that World History has been taught at New York's colleges since 1966 and within the framework of it the events of World War I and 1915 are covered from Armenian point of view: Armenian books and documents were used as sources.
