The daily Yerkir writes that though Armenia’s Minister of Education and
Science Armen Ashotyan relieved Suren Zolyan, rector of the Yerevan
State Linguistic University, of his duties the latter is not going
to leave his office.

The paper says he advised Ashotyan to attentively read the laws,
according to which the rector of the linguistic university is being
elected by the university and the election results are confirmed by
a relevant decision of the Armenian government.

According to the newspaper, in reality it is not the outcome of
Ashotyan-Zolyan conflict but the reasons of the conflict go rather
deep. According to the paper’s sources, behind the conflict stands
Armenia’s Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan. As it is known Tigran
Sargsyan is chairman of the Administration Board of Khachatur Abovian
Pedagogical University and has serious programs connected with Brusov
Linguistic University. The prime minister wants to unite these
two universities in future and turn Brusov in not so prestigious
establishment functioning under subordination of the Pedagogical
University.
