YEREVAN, DECEMBER 17, ARMENPRESS. The Acting Rector of the Yerevan State University Hovhannes Hovhannisyan was installed as Rector by the university’s Board of Trustees.

Hovhannisyan is elected as Rector of the YSU for a 5-year term.

The results of the secret confirmation vote were 19 in favor and 5 against.

Hovhannisyan was the only candidate in the voting as the Board of Trustees turned down the application of Artsrun Sahakyan as a potential candidate due to procedural violations relating to application paperwork deadlines.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
