Additionally, texts addressing the Ottoman Empire's rule, previously described in the Syrian curriculum as "the brutal Ottoman authority," are set to be removed entirely.

I am curious why the section on Ottoman rule was removed completely.

They're supported by erdogan who sees himself as an ottoman sultan. Eventually they might replace it with something positive

Yes, I was wondering why it wasn't replaced with something positive.

The full removal seemed strange.

I assume it's because the contrast would be too stark.

It's interesting. Perhaps it's all just one person's hasty edits and they just happen to think the empire wasn't all that bad.
