Istanbul – According to the information provided by different students, 11th grade students at Hisar Schools were discussing the Nazi salute of Üsküdar American High School students to Ulus Private Jewish High School students on Thursday, while a student told a Jewish student that the incident was exaggerated. 

When the Jewish student said that Nazi sympathy was a dangerous idea, the student of Hisar allegedly began to recite the Nazi anthem. Again, allegedly, two other students supported this student by giving the Nazi salute.

The incident reached the school administration, and the officials of Hisar Schools contacted Avlaremoz and made a statement regarding the incident. The school, which apologized for the incident, confirmed that the incident was a little different from the one conveyed to Avlaremoz, and that there were no Nazi salutes and the Nazi anthem was not recited, while other gestures made reference to Nazis.
