ZHOGHOVURD: TIGRAN TOROSYAN HEAD OF UNESCO DEPARTMENT
Tert.am
28.10.11
The ex-speaker of the Armenian Parliament Tigran Torosyan will soon
be appointed Head of the UNESCO, Human Rights, European Studies and
Democracy Department at Yerevan State Linguistic University.
The newspaper reports that Mr. Torosyan will remain a cross-bencher
at the Armenian Parliament as he will work for the university on a
voluntary basis, which is allowed by the Armenian Constitution. Suren
Zolyan, Rector of Yerevan State Linguistic University offered the
position to Mr. Torosyan.
The newspaper reports that the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA)
unfairly removed Mr. Torosyan from the post of Parliament speaker
and appointed Hovik Abrahamyan instead. In his turn, Mr. Torosyan
left the RPA in protest, retaining his seat in Parliament.
Tigran Torosyan was Parliament Speaker in 2008, when the tragic events
happened on March 1.
