It is the first time that 14-year-old Turkish students will see in the textbook that there is a Blue Homeland, until now there was no mention
The “Blue Homeland” also appeared in Turkish textbooks, as reported by SKAI’s Istanbul correspondent Manolis Kostidis.
In particular, as Ankara had announced, the theory of the Blue Homeland (Mavi Vatan in Turkish) appears in a book given to Turkish students.
There is a restraint, however, in the composition of the map presented to the students, namely that the Aegean Sea is not shown cut in half. The word blue Homeland is placed on the map above Turkey, not as it appeared behind Erdogan’s speech.
However, according to Turkish textbooks read by 14-year-old students, ninth graders are given the following exercise:
To give examples of Turkey’s struggle against unjust claims that ignore the country’s legal and geographical interests in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean.
Aegean is mentioned, although the Ministry of Education had requested that it be written as the Sea of Islands.
Also, there is talk of a Heavenly Homeland. The Blue Homeland according to the book includes the maritime areas of Turkey’s administration declared in accordance with International Law, as well as in accordance with Turkey’s rights and interests.
It is the first time that Turkish students will see in the textbook that there is a Blue Homeland, until now there was none.
