Armenia’s Deputy Prime Minister Suren Papikyan has been elected Chairman of the Yerevan State University (YSU) Board of Trustees, and a competition for the position of YSU Rector has been announced—and which will take place in December. A YSU representative informed about this to reporters.

But Saturday’s meeting of the YSU Board of Trustees was closed, and therefore reporters were not allowed to cover it.

Until now, however, the meetings of the YSU Board of Trustees had been open to the public, and for that reason reporters had covered them freely.
