"Another Turkish person, Fatih Yaman, explained that the book is for the third grade, and published one page of the book, criticizing Turkey's Education Minister Diya Seljuk." Are you going to collect and reconsider the books again? "

According to the newspaper, a cartoon character named "Khadr" talks about sexual exploitation of children in the book, saying: "He approached the girl and looked at her with his wide eyes, and smeared the honor of the unconscious child. Then he sat beside the child's head, awaited her to wake up, and then said to her: If I tell your elder brother you will become pregnant. Then he disappeared. But the girl did not tell her brother because of her fear, but it was better to tell him. Khadr came to the girl every day and threatened to tell her brother what had happened.
