Kurdish language courses, which were once punishable by lengthy prison terms, could be launched in Turkey within a period of three months after parliament passed a series of ground-breaking reforms, Turkey’s Minister of Education, Necdet Tekin said on Monday.  

 

Tekin told Anatolia news agency that after the legislation formally becomes law, his ministry would prepare the necessary decrees to regulate private Kurdish courses. "I see this (preparation) period as three months. Maybe they (the decrees) could be released even earlier," he conveyed. (Albawaba.com)
