Nevsehir University is one of Turkey’s newest centres of higher
education, having only been opened in May last year.

NEVSEHÝR – A university in central Turkey is planning to open new
departments offering courses in the Armenian, Greek and Hebrew
languages, it was announced Friday.

According to Professor Metin Hulagu, the dean of the Faculty of
Science and Letters at the Nevsehir University it will be the first
time these three languages have been offered by a Turkish university.

"We want to open new departments on the three languages to promote
Turkey’s relations with Armenia, Greece and Israel," he said. "There
is presently a lack of Turks speaking these languages fluently."

Hulagu said that the university was waiting for permission from the
Turkish Higher Board of Education (YOK), which controls universities
and higher education, to officially open the language departments.
