Textbooks serve as the main source for this study because the education system is the tool that strengthens the state's influence over its citizens. A nation-state's establishment of its own identity is a process that directly builds citizens' consciousness. © 2012 Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArmenian-Turkish RelationsAzerbaijani IdentityTurkish IdentityTurkishnessTurkismArticle162N/AQ3247256
