By S. Younes
Damascus, July 28, (SANA) –
Armenia’s Charge d’Affair in Damascus underlined on Thursday the need
to exert efforts and offices to meet the Syrian students in Armenian
universities demands.
` There is a need to facilitate the Syrian students obtaining of
scientific qualifications in accordance to traditional criterion, `
Youri Babakhanian told Deputy Minister of Higher Education Mohammed
Najib Abdul Wahed, when they met today to study conditions of Syrian
students at Armenian private universities.
The Syrian government had recently adopted decisions that modify
diplomas issued form these universities.
Abdul Wahed hoped Syrian students in Armenia would get the new
scientific study and that the ministry of higher education there
would ease Syrian students graduated from private Armenian
universities admission after following one year study to amend
certificate.
` We hope this would be made following the example of their Armenian
mates in addition to soften their move from the private Armenian
universities to government run universities abroad,’ the Syrian
official said.
