The Armenian authorities are trying to oust me from the country through
indirect pressure, Suren Zolyan, former rector of the Yerevan State
Linguistic University after V. Bryusov, told media, Tuesday.
"No local educational establishment has invited me to teach this year.
Only the European University invited me. In addition, the have
suspended by research activity in the interstate project without
notifying me of that. By such measures they make me leave the country,"
the professor said. Zolyan said that he will leave the country for
Estonia for three months to participate in a research project.
In the second half of the year he will return to continue teaching
in the country, he said. As regards the Mass Media rumors that he
had returned his claim against Education Minister Armen Ashotyan,
Zolyan said: "The process is being protracted as the court sitting
on the case was postponed from July 18 to August 30 as the YSLU has
not provided the necessary documents. The sitting is scheduled for
tomorrow and everyone will learn who is Ashotyan and what incorrect
steps he is making to huddle his jobs through," Zolyan said.
To recall, on April 17 Armenian Minister of Education and Science
Armen Ashotyan signed a decree on dismissal of Souren Zolyan from the
post of the Rector of the Yerevan State Linguistic University and on
termination of the labor contract signed with Zolyan on 17 March 2008.
The press service of the Ministry reported that the dismissal was
preceded by two disciplinary sanctions imposed on Zolyan on April
6 and April 17. The first severe reprimand was for the fact that
Zolyan ignored Armen Ashotyan's instruction not to leave Armenia over
the period from 19 to 23 March and devolved his responsibility upon
another person. The second reprimand was the response to the numerous
violations revealed at the Yerevan State Linguistic University during
the inspection carried out by the Ministry on March 20-27.
