Guilty in failure to register rapid economic progress are Armenian language and Armenian history subjects: professor

Head of the YSU Armenian language chair Yuri Avetisyan expects urgent discussion with education, science, culture and sports ministry.

“The discussion would have been preferable in the YSU Philology Faculty as we may say that the movement started from here,” he told the reporters.

Avetisyan stressed that the discussion can be organized elsewhere but the most important thing is the participation of the minister.

YSU History Faculty dean Edik Minasyan said that the Armenian language and the Armenian history are subjects necessary for the national security, upbringing of generations.

“Our striking students mainly demand attention and development of a concept. The painful thing is that these urges of the students remain without response,” he said.

Dean of Pedagogical University’s History Faculty Edgar Hovhanissyan said they join the protest.

“It appears that if we have not succeeded to ensure rapid economic development and make Armenia a silicon valley the guilty of it is the Armenian language and Armenian history. It appears that after withdrawing these subjects we will have economic revolution in one year,” Edgar Hovhannisyan said.
