By the decree of RA Minister of Education and Science Armen Ashotyan,
Rector of Yerevan State Linguistic University after V. Brusov Suren
Zolyan has received a regulatory fine, a "strict warning" for being
absent from the country without the minister's permission and for
delegating his competences to another person temporarily.
The rector has responded quite roughly and has explained in the
press that he is a member of the Experts Committee of the European
Charter for Regional or Minority Languages and has participated in
the mentioned committee's plenary session. In this case giving a
"strict warning" the minister has exceeded his competences. It is
clearly stated in the charter that the ministry must not intervene
with the activity of the experts.
"With the same logic he could order to behead me or exile me to the
moon," Suren Zolyan has said and defined the decree as "absurd".
He has also said that the court will annul the minister's decree,
he has nothing to worry. The rector has informed he will turn to
Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan with the issue of withdrawing the
decree and of the issue of Ashotyan's further holding the post.
