Today a trial on the case of former headmaster of Nubarashen special
school No11 Meruzhan Yengibaryan took place in Yerevan. To recall,
Yengibaryan is trying to dispute Armenian Minister of Education and
Science Armen Ashotyan's order on his dismissal.
To recall, the monitoring held in 2008 registered rough violations in
the special school No11, particularly, poor quality food, poor sanitary
conditions, as well as bad treatment with respect to children. Besides,
some pupils were forced to carry out hard work on the land plots and
in the houses belonging to the school leadership.
The information about Armenian language and literature teacher Levon
Avagyan's sexual harassment against his pupils received wide public
response. The pedophile's victims have repeatedly stated that they
had been applying to Headmaster Yengibaryan to protect them from
the asexual harassment of their teacher; however, the headmaster
took absolutely no measures. In 2010 Avagyan was sentenced to 3-year
imprisonment under Article 142 of the Armenian Criminal Code (sexual
abuse against minors).
Despite the serious scandal around the Nubarashen special school,
Yengibaryan still hopes to dispute Ashotyan's order and to be
reinstated in the headmaster's office. The last hope for "justice"
was laid on the Gold Medal of the Ministry of Education and Science
that Yengibaryan was awarded on 12 November 2008. The lawyer of the
former headmaster is sure that this high award speaks for itself.
During the trial the representative of the Education Ministry, Lilit
Vardanyan, spoke about the medal awarded to Yengibaryan over the former
education ministry Spartak Seyranyan's term in office. "What shall
we comment on? Good work is encouraged, and bad one is not. We have
seen that he did not cope with his direct obligations, and instead of
finding out the reasons of the scandal around Avagyan, he restricted
his measures to severe reprimand and denied any privity of the teacher
to this case", said Vardanyan and added that Yengibaryan's demands
to be reinstated in office are absolutely groundless.
The verdict on Meruzhan Yengibaryan's case will be delivered on
March 9.
