A group of students gathered outside the Government Building in
Yerevan to protest tuition hikes that will come into effect in
Armenia's colleges and universities this fall.

The protesters say the hikes are illegal since the Education Ministry
hasn't taken into account the financial status of the students to
be affected.

They also do not believe that the tuition hikes will result in better
quality education. After submitting their letter of grievances to
Minister of Education and Science Armen Ashotyan (see photo), the
students took their protest to a number of nearby state universities.
