Momo, Are the Laz people allowed to speak their language in school or must they speak Turkish? Thanks.

Laz language is not prohibited in Turkey. The Laz people are the most free, and appreciated ethnic group here. Laz people are trying to save their language now with one dictionnary created. It may be true that before, Laz people have been “Turkishized” but they still speak laz, so it is their responsibility to take care of their roots.

That’s a bummer. It was so great to see everyone dancing and picnicking on the mountainside. I hope you get up there again and have better luck next time!
