YEREVAN. – The former principal of Yerevan State Linguistic University (YSLU) Suren Zolyan will not participate in the contest for the principal post from which he was fired recently, Zolyan announced at a press conference on Saturday stating that he still considers himself the principal of YSLU.

“The development of education in Armenia is deficient – the Bologna Principle does not work here but a feudalistic one where the minister is always right and everybody must obey him,” he said adding that the issue is not the Ashotyan – Zolyan misunderstanding but the further development of education in Armenia.

As Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier, Yerevan State Linguistic University Principal Suren Zolyan was dismissed from his post recently under the order of Armenia’s Minister of Education and Science Armen Ashotyan.
