PRESIDENT TO SETTLE CONFLICT OVER BALLET SCHOOL

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 22. ARMINFO. RA President has promised to settle
the conflict over Yerevan Choreographic School in the favor of the
school, Gevorg Mheryan, a member of the Presidential Supervisory
Service, told the collective and parents’ committee, who are
discontent with the personnel decisions made by the RA Minister of
Culture Hovik Hoveyan.

Mheryan pointed out that the President is well-informed of the problem
and expects the Minister’s return from Germany. We would remind you
that the students’ parents held a picket in front of the presidential
residence to get an answer to their letter addressed to the President
requesting his interference. On September 10, a scandal took place at
the school: the school personnel were discontented by Minister Hovik
Hoveyan’s decree relieving Director Norair Mehrabyan and appointing
Karen Gevorgyan, and drove the Minister and his body-guards out. No
classes have been conducted for 12 days at the only ballet school in
Armenia that has worked for 80 years.
