Aram Simonyan: This is not democracy, but reprisal, including for my political ideas
ArmInfo.This is not democracy, but reprisal, including my political ideas and the fact that I belong to the Republican Party. This was announced by the rector of the
university Aram Simonyan in YSU on May 29, referring to the fact that
the students did not give the principal to leave the room of the
scientific council.
"The university is a free territory, but not a territory of
violence." I have never used violence for the entire time in office,
but today violence has been applied against me. I consider this
unacceptable. "It's not democracy, it's punishment, including, for my
political ideas and for the fact that I belong to the Republican
Party, "Simonyan said.
"They do not know what is happening at the university, they have a
political line that they are implementing, I will not take any steps
by violence, I can do anything only voluntarily," the rector of the
YSU said. Prior to this, the rector stated that the number of
protesting students is 150-200 people, and the number of students
supporting him is 17 thousand.
To note, this morning the students held a protest rally demanding the
resignation of YSU Rector Aram Simonyan, who met with them in the
scientific council hall, however, the parties did not reach a
consensus. The students blocked Simonyan's exit from the hall, as a
result of which the principal became ill.
