DIYARBAKIR. – The court of Diyarbakir, Turkey, justified the Sur
Municipality Mayor in Diyarbakir Abdullah Demirbaþ, who was charged
for allegedly abusing office. The mayor demanded those who desire to
work in the city hall to know Kurdish, Armenian, or Arab in addition
to Turkish.
“When the MFA hires new employees it demands that they know either
English or French, which is not discrimination, while demanding the
knowledge of Armenian or Kurdish is a discrimination?” the Kurd Mayor
asked and the court justified him.
To note, investigations were launched against Demirbaþ after he
organized courses of the Armenian language in Diyarbakir.
