ArmInfo. The project of Armenian Education Ministry about
introduction of foreign language education in Armenian schools still
causes anxiety of ordinary people. To recall, to create such schools
Armenian parliament has to make alterations to the laws "On language"
and "On education".

‘I hope this problem will not be politicized and Republican Party of
Armenia, the member of which Ashotyan is, will not vote for making
alterations so that to protect his honor’, – the former deputy
Education Minister, member of ARFD Bagrat Yesayan said at today’s
press-conference. He thinks that introduction of such a project in
Armenia will negatively affect the growing up generation. ‘It will not
be easy for the children which will study in such schools to integrate
in the Armenian language society’, – he said and added that one can
introduce deep learning of foreign languages without legislative
changes as well. Psychologist Karine Nalchajan also worries about such
plans of Armenian Education Ministry. ‘The incongruity of language
communication and study may cause serious problems for children. I
think that the protest against this project is an issue of preserving
nation’, – she said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
