Changes in Law on Language are much discussed recently. Note the
changes are supposed to let the foreign schools be opened in Armenia.
The initiative group "We are against the foreign-language schools to
be reopened" has held a range of protest actions to alarm about the
dangers the changes can cause.
According to the speaker of the Armenian NA Hovik Abrahamyan the
proposed amendments to the Law on Language will help Armenia to
protect itself from assimilation and estrangement.
"I am convinced by adopting the amended law, we'll be able to
preserve our national identity and avoid the risk of assimilation
and estrangement. It will also let us adopt a more flexible policy
complying with the best international educational programs," he said.
Abrahamyan stressed alternative and international education programs
will be based solely upon Armenian language thinking, and that the
Armenian language and Armenological subjects will be mandatory for
all public schools.
"We started the second reading without even conducting the first.
Heritage faction proposes not to hold a voting," Stepan Safaryan by
"Heritage" party said.
