University Rector Suren Zolyan and Armenia's Minister of Education
and Science Armen Ashotyan are in conflict with each other.
In an interview Zolyan called Minister Ashotyan "a nonentity."
Minister Ashotyan reported on Tuesday that he is conducting inspections
at the higher school and intends to publish results soon.
According to some information, the conflict has political
implications. Moreover, the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) is rumored
to be inciting Zolyan to a "duel" with Ashotyan.
A few months ago PAP Chairman Gagik Tsarukyan sponsored lecturers
and students of the higher school thereby "establishing control"
over Rector Suren Zolyan.
The newspaper reports that a dozen lecturers have lately left the
higher school.
Narek Margaryan and Sergey Sargsyan, who are Armcomedy anchors,
as well as Honored Teacher Melanya Astvatsatryan, are among them.
