Today Levon Ananyan, the head of the Union of the Armenian Writers
expressed his concerns about the suggestion of the Government on
opening foreign language schools in Armenia.

According to him it has become a tradition for us to make noise time
by time, to create problems, then to try to solve them and this when
our country is deep in the problems.

L. Ananyan also informed that the presidency of the Union of the
Armenian Writers has issued a statement which says that "the Union of
the Armenian Writers is against the presented project, as it considers
it imprudent and unacceptable from the point of view of the national
interests and suggests not to present for discussions the document
in the Armenian National Assembly."

According to the speaker during the regular meeting of the young
writers in Tsakhkadzor too the young people were against the
establishment of the foreign language schools.

"The intellectuals refuse the suggested document," he stressed and
added, "This project is a slowly working mine, which is on the basis
of the Armenian education"

Levon Ananyan also reminded the 60-70s when "there was a kind of
war against the mother tongue" and the foreign language schools were
considered elite schools.
