Ministry has no right to offer high salary

Gabriel Ghazaryan, First Deputy Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs of the Republic of Armenia, told “A1+” about the cessation of financing of  grandmaster school named after Levon Aronian and Gabriel Sargsyan.

“The school was adjunct to the former “Mika” sports complex owned by the State Revenue Committee. The institution was able to provide coaches’ salary fund. Since this institution is now a non-profit organization, we cannot offer the same amount of salaries to our grandmasters. This is beyond the law. We have shifted these positions to a chess school adjunct to the ministry, but I do not think that GMs will agree with the amount of our salary, “said Gabriel Ghazaryan.

Emil Lazarian: “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
