Psychologist: “Turk remains a Turk”

If the Turkish living in Europe can’t be enduring, then it shouldn’t be expected from the Turkish living in their own country, said Davit Jamalyan the military psychologist commenting on the story connected with Mustafa Dogan, a schoolboy in France.

The mentioned above schoolboy had denied the fact of the Armenian Genocide saying that, “If they have realized Genocide to Armenians it means that they deserved it.”

The directorate of the school as a punishment had given a homework to the schoolboy to write about the Armenian Genocide threatening that will exclude him from the school. At first Mustafa had refused to do the task by the encouragement of a Turkish NGO in France but then has apologized in a written form.

D. Jamalyan thinks that though the pupil has done this step by force however the obligation against the Turkish living in Europe is very important for seeding a tolerance in this issue.

According to the speaker, living out of their country the Turkish preserve not only their traditions, but also the stereotypes which do not change with the time.

“The Turk is a Turk in his country or in Europe”, - mentioned the psychologist.
