I like it when the people speak out and stand up to what they feel is wrong. Bravo staff and parents, don't back down until things are set right!!!


STAFF OF YEREVAN CHOREOGRAPHIC COLLEGE PICKET PRESIDENTIAL RESIDENCE

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 25. ARMINFO. Today the creative staff and parents of the students of Yerevan Choreographic College again picket the residence of the Armenian President.

It should be noted that the only ballet school in the country, which is 80-years-old, is on a strike for already 15 days. The reason of the strike of teachers and students is known: dissatisfaction with the order of Minister for Culture and Youth Affairs of Armenia Hovik Hoveyan on release of the current Director Norayr Meghrabyan from his post and his replacement by Karen Gevorgyan. The picketers sent a letter to President Kocharyan asking for restoration of "status quo." During the recent reception of the members of the parents committee and the creative staff of the college, an employee of the Presidential Control Service passed Robert Kocharyan's words to them.

He said that the president is informed of all the problems connected with the college and waits for return of Hovik Hoveyan from Germany to finally solve the issue. However, several days have passed, but no final reply has been given to the picketers.
