Turkey’s Foundations General Directorate made a landmark
decision to return the Armenian Surp Haç Tıbrevank Foundation in Istanbul’s
Üsküdar district back to the Armenian community yesterday. “We managed to ensure the foundation’s return after a
very long struggle. We are very happy. Tıbrevank will now freely continue where
it had left off,” Laki Vingas, a council member of the Foundations Directorate
General, told the Hürriyet Daily News.
Surp Haç Tıbrevank’s clerical school was shut down in
1940. It then lost its foundation status in 1985. (S.H:T.’s clerical school was
shut down in 1967 HYETERT)
The Surp Haç High School’s headmaster Hayk Nişan told the
Daily News the re-opening of the clerical school was not on their agenda.
“Our only goal is to educate our students as is necessary.
This school faithfully abided by the [regulations] of the Education Ministry
until this [day],” said Nişan.
The decision was made right after a meeting held in the
Foundations General Council yesterday.
“We are grateful to our prime minister and the Foundations
General Directorate for their decisions,” Nişan added.
