Today the students of the Yerevan State University and the
State University of Economy gathered in front of the government
building. They urge to declare invalid the decision of June 23 on the
order of formation of the administration council of higher education
institutions.

“According to the order, the council may include people, who are not
engaged in the educational field”, a four-year student said.

It is hard to say how the government will react to the protest. It is
known that the order came into force 13 days ago. Some students also
informed that tutors are afraid to take part in the protest actions,
however the students are encouraged by scientists. Chairman of the
Armenian Association of political scientists Arman Vardanyan said
that the protest action will bear a lasting character.
