YEREVAN. – Yerevan State Linguistic University (YSLU) former Chancellor Suren Zolyan, who was dismissed by the Education Minister order, met with the President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan on Thursday as a member of the Public Council, Zolyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Asked which issues were discussed, the Chancellor said that it was a closed meeting, hence he has “no comment.”

Zolyan said that he was a member of the Council when the YSLU student was detained. However, he was released in a short while. Yet, it is a violation of the University autonomy. Many states have fixed it legally that the police has no right to break into the University unless agreed by the administration or in case of a serious crime. It discredits a state, which claims to assume the secretariat for the Bologna process and be an etalon for Europe.

Asked whether he is still considered to be the Chancellor, Zolyan said that he carries responsibility for it anyway.
