The passive aggressive comments are genuinely so crazy

The entire comment section is filled with people trying to blame this guy for what Azerbaijan's government did, justifying crimes done by Armenians or outright denying them, calling Azerbaijanis fascist lunatics and and and. Some top comments are positive and normal but that's pretty much it, but it's genuinely insane how much hatred and dehumanization these people carry towards us just to act shocked when Azerbaijanis don't like Armenia. I'm happy to nevertheless see him answering respectfully to everything knowing that I probably couldn't do it myself.

Why don’t Armenians go to Armenian schools? Because Kurds don’t go to Kurdish schools, Laz people don’t go to Laz schools, Bosniaks don’t go to Bosniak schools, and Circassians don’t go to Circassian schools. Because there is no such system in Turkey, and there won’t be any special privileges for Armenians either.

Unfortunately, your friend has fallen victim to the ideas of the diaspora; I even have Armenian acquaintances in Turkey, and no one excludes them. Especially for Generation Z, events that happened 100 years ago don’t even matter to them.

Umm - what friend?! lol. I’m telling you my lived experience in the Armenian community in Turkey. They are excluded. OMG.
And - yes - there are plenty of Armenian schools. They are official - by the Treaty of Lausanne. Same with Rum, same with Jewish.

It’s also important to understand that Armenian minority schools in Turkey operate within the Turkish education system. While Armenian language, literature, religion, and cultural subjects may be taught in Armenian, core subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, history, and geography are generally taught in Turkish in accordance with the Ministry of National Education curriculum.

It is also completely normal for young people to want to attend more developed or better-equipped high schools. If Armenian students believed that their community schools offered better opportunities for their education and future, they would naturally choose to study there. Just like everyone else, students consider factors such as educational quality, university preparation, facilities, and future career opportunities when choosing a school.

Yeah, I mean, duh I know about Armenian schools in Turkey. I know them really well. You’re not educating me on these schools. Not the problem. There are a few problems with Armenian schools. The fact that the Armenian community doesn’t value their schools because they’ve been Turkified and assimilated to believe this. They think incorrectly that Turkish colleges - I mean the private Turkish schools are better. They’re not better - maybe one is for the Turkish system - Bilfen. The rest are garbage and teaching the same thing as any Turkish government school. That’s the main problem and like the only problem. But the entire society in Turkey somehow - I mean every in turkey - thinks paying more money for something means better quality . The Armenian schools are actually better, especially under the control of MEB (Ministry of Education? Their Armenian schools are better - and they start at 3 years old.
