AGAINST TEACHERS’ AND PUPILS’ WILL

AKHALKALAK, JUNE 8, NOYAN TAPAN. On June 7, the employees of Georgian
Ministry of Internal Affairs, dispersing thousands of Armenians that
gathered around Akhaltskha secondary school N 3 after Hovhannes
Tumanian, entered the school building. According to the A-Info agency,
the people gathered near the school after the June 3 incident when
representatives of Akhaltskha power structures, Yura Zaridze, Head of
the Enlightenment Department, and representatives of the staff of
Georgian President’s Plenipotentiary in Samtskhe-Javakhk wanted to
realize Georgian Education Minister Kakha Lomaya’s May 24 decree about
dismissing school headmaster Lyuba Matevosian against the will of the
teachers and pupils. As Robert Muradian replacing L.Matevosian isn’t
trusted by people a demonstration was organized by pupils and
teachers.
