ABTTF makes statement on new school building request

ABTTF President Halit Habipoğlu: “Authorities create jurisdictional confusion over our educational demands.”

The President of the European Western Thrace Turkish Federation (ABTTF), Halit Habipoğlu, released a statement regarding recent developments concerning the new school building request for the İskeçe Minority Middle and High School.

Criticizing the responses of Deputy Minister of Education Zetta Marki and İskeçe Mayor Stratos Kontos, Habipoğlu stated:

“When it comes to educational demands, our country's authorities deliberately create jurisdictional gaps or confusion because they do not want to address our school building request.”

Habipoğlu further emphasized:

“The request for a new school building for the İskeçe Turkish Minority Middle and High School has turned into a never-ending saga! The Ministry says it’s the municipality's responsibility, while the municipality insists that minority schools fall under the Ministry's jurisdiction. Everyone is passing the buck! Adding to this absurdity, Deputy Minister Marki claims there are no issues with the current school building.

This ridiculous situation proves that our country's authorities intentionally create jurisdictional chaos regarding educational matters to avoid fulfilling our demands. As a result, we feel deceived and mocked. Despite years of voicing this demand, we still lack clarity on who is responsible. It's shameful!”

Habipoğlu called for decisive action to resolve the long-standing issue, criticizing the systemic neglect of the minority’s educational needs.
