“If they are not going to compromise I am not going either. I intend
to leave the university. It’s a pity I have paid the fee for three
years in vain”, a 4th year student of the university after Hrachya
Acharyan said.

University Pro-rector Aram Khachtryan explained that in 2001 the
students of the most expensive faculty paid 449217 AMD, in 2002 –
459756 AMD, in 2003 – 470334 AMD, in 2004 – 417150 AMD. Thus, the
fee have raised as compared to last year and lowered as compared to
the year of 2003.

Today the protesting students divided into two groups, one of which
returned to the classrooms.

The protester appealed to the Human Rights Defender, however were
told that the Ombudsman does not deal with the private universities.

To note, the university pro-rector said that the administration is
ready to make concessions partially. “If they do it proceeding from
a principle – we cannot help, but if there are students who are not
able to pay we will meet them halfway as we always do”, he said.
