Greek minority school opens in Turkey after 49 years

An elementary school for the Greek children on the island of Gökçeada, Turkey, was opened yesterday, after being closed for 49 years, Hürriyet Daily News cites Doğan News Agency as saying.

The Hagia Todori Elementary School was first opened in 1951 but closed in 1964, reopening on March 28 this year after Turkey’s Education Ministry accepted the demand to open a school for the Greek minority on Gökçeada, an island off coast of the north-western province of Çanakkale, the news agency informs.

Four students will attend the school.
