The Yerevan State Linguistic University named after Valery Brusov in
a statement issued today said it finds that expressing an opinion on
the protests in Mashtots Park is outside of its powers.
"Neither the university nor the self-governing body the Student Council
has the authority to disseminate statements on the aforementioned issue
in the university's name. Lecturers and students at the university
can express only their own personal opinions," reads the statement.
Recall, earlier, YSLU Student Council President Hasmik Apyan had
said that the issue is "not a worrying problem for the linguistic
university". Then yesterday, a group of YSLU students paid a visit to
Mashtots Park and issued a statement in support of the environmental
and civic activists who have been protesting shop construction in
the park for the second week in a row.
The YSLU students criticized Apyan's statement and said they launched
a petition at their university which was signed by both students
and faculty.
"This proves that the Student Council president abused her authority
and spoke on behalf of the entire university," read the students'
statement.
