YEREVAN. – Yerevan State Linguistic University Chancellor Suren Zolyan, who on the order of Armenia’s Minister of Education and Science Armen Ashotyan, was dismissed from his post on Tuesday, claims that he would not like to politicize the issue. However, the policy leads to it and Zolyan sees this tendency, he said at a press conference on Wednesday.

The YSLU prepares a letter for the PM and the court. To note, the University has already appealed to the court for the first strict reprimand released by the minister.

“More likely Ashotyan fears for not preserving his post after the elections. Hence, he discredits his party, the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), by trying to dismiss me from the post,” Zolyan said.

The Minister released twice strict reprimands against the Chancellor, as the latter disobeyed Ashotyan’s orders by participating for a session, which the Minister had considered to be inappropriate.
