Heritage Party MP Zaruhi Postanjyan recently directed questions to
high-ranking government officials who also chair prominent Armenian
post-secondary institutions: Armenian president and Yerevan State
University (YSU) board chair Serzh Sargsyan, RA National Assembly
chair and Armenian State University of Economics board chair Hovik
Abrahamyan, and RA Prime Minister and Armenian State Pedagogical
University named after Khachatur Abovyan board chair Tigran Sargsyan.
"Don't you think that only your candidacy being put forth and
your being elected during the Jan. 29, 2011 election of Yerevan
State University board chair testifies to the management [style]
characteristic of authoritarian regimes and compromises Yerevan State
University's principle of self-management?" Postanjyan asked Serzh
Sargsyan, in particular.
The opposition MP also inquired a to how Serzh Sargsyan combines
his obligations as president of the Republic of Armenia with his
obligations as YSU board chair.
"Considering the fact that you assumed the post of RA president
after the 2008 rigged elections, under conditions of mass revolt
among the general public, in the existence of political prisoners,
ten dead and many wounded, after declaring a state of emergency
(during which time RA armed forces were used illegally), as well as
your failure of the management of authorities in both domestic and
foreign policy, and your love in the management of higher education
sector, isn't it time to make a choice - to bid adieu to the position
of RA president in favor of higher education?" concluded Postanjyan,
who also suggested to Tigran Sargsyan and Hovik Abrahamyan that they
leave their posts and work full time in the area of higher education.
