*Cakmakoglu: Discussions About Education In Kurdish Language Are Pointless

Anadolu Agency
NEVSEHIR, Jan 20 (A.A) - National Defense Minister Sabahattin Cakmakoglu has said ''We should defend Turkey's unity in all fields, not only our territorial integrity.'' 
Cakmakgolu told the A.A that discussions about education in Kurdish language was against the Constitution and Tukrey's social structure. 

''There are certain views which we defend for Turkey's unity. We think that those who defend education in Kurdish language aren't aware of Turkey's realities,'' he commented. 

Cakmakoglu said discussions about education in Kurdish language were pointless and continued: 

''We need to defend our unity in all ways, not only our territorial integrity. Countries which try to impose education in Kurdish language don't have such problems.''
