Around 200 students organized a march towards the Armenian government
building to protest cut of MA and PhD course seats.
As one of the demonstrators, student of the department of physics at
Yerevan State University, Daniel Ioannisyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter, they will submit a letter to the government. He also said
that Police threatened to use force in case the students "make too
much noise." "Should police interfere, their actions will be illegal,
as the students are moving up the sidewalk and do not hinder the
traffic," he said.
Ioannisyan also emphasized that RA Education and Science Minister Armen
Ashotyan offered a meeting, but the students decided to postpone it
unless a response is received from the government.
"I can elaborate on further steps but the action might turn long-term,"
he said.
