Director of the National Gallery of Armenia Paravon Mirzoyan cannot
understand officials seeking PhDs.
`Last year I watched TV and heard about 149 new PhD theses! In the
USSR, only 10 to 15 people used to defend PhD theses after working for
many years,' Mirzoyan told Tert.am.
Speaking of Yerevan Mayor Taron Margaryan and Minister of Transport
Gagik Beglaryan, both of whom recently defended their theses, Mirzoyan
said: `It is knowledge that is of importance. It must be a fashion now
when one is addressed as `doctor' or `professor'.'
