RA NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCE PRESIDENT DOES NOT SEND IN HIS RESIGNATION

Yerevan, April 5. ArmInfo. President of the National Academy of
Science of the Republic of Armenia (NAS RA), Fadey Sargsyan, did not
send in his resignation as some scientific circles and Mass Media
had forecasted.

At today’s enlarged sitting of the NAS RA Presidium F. Sargsyan
stated: “No one can force conditions on me. I used to make decisions
independently. And I will work like a soldier i.e. as long as I am
able to.” He disapproved the proposals of NAS RA Presidium members
to give a juridical solution to the problem with Director of NAS
RA Fundamental Scientific Library, Academician Anry Nersisyan. The
latter accuses F. Sargsyan of non-purpose- oriented use of funds,
illegal privatization of the Academy facilities and money laundry. F.

Sargsyan stated that he had no intention to dismiss A. Nersisyan
for such allegations. F. Sargsyan refused to comment on journalists’
questions.
