Turkish Education Minister Yusuf Tekin renames Aegean Sea in textbooks, sparking Greek outcry

Turkey's Minister of National Education, Yusuf Tekin, announced that the term "Ege Denizi" (Aegean Sea) will be replaced with "Adalar Denizi" (Islands Sea) in school curricula as part of the "Turkey Century Education Model". The change prompted strong reactions in Greece, where the Greek press labeled the amendment propaganda and expressed significant displeasure over the perceived alteration of a geographic name.

The dispute highlights ongoing sensitivities between Turkey and Greece over historical and territorial issues, though it remains confined to the educational and diplomatic spheres.
