Yerevan, 22 April: Indian students today continued the protest rally
on Republic Square which they started on 20 April in connection with
the tragic death of a 20-year student, Prashanta [Sandi] Anchali.
They demanded the resignation of the rector of Yerevan Medical
University, Goar Kalyan, and his deputies.
This time the reason for the students' dissatisfaction was Kalyan's
interview to the Armenian newspaper Aykakan Zhamanak, in which,
speaking about the Indian people, she said: "This is a mendacious
and gipsy nation."
Moreover, the students are also outraged by interviews of the Medical
University leadership in which they said that during their meeting with
the rector, Indian students cocked a snook at her. In the meantime,
the students maintain that Kalyan herself cocked a snook at them in
response to their demand for her resignation.
