The RA Ministry of Education and Science did not have its official
representative in the council of trustees of the "European Regional
Academy", press secretary of the Ministry Lilit Galstyan informed
"A1+". This gives us ground to suppose that the Academy managed to
remain out of state control, although it had a state license.

According to the decision of the RA Government, the Ministry
of Science and Education is supposed to have an official
representative. Nevertheless, the academy managed to avoid the law,
as well as the decision of the Ministry about limiting the number of
students who may postpone their military service. Let us remind you
that the Academy organized entrance examinations without letting the
students know about the restriction. And when the students complained,
the rector of the Academy, Sergey Bichakhchyan resigned from his post.

According to Albert Qeshishyan, the administrative head of the
Academy, the council of trustees has not yet accepted the resignation
of the rector. The issue is being discussed. As for the Ministry of
Education, they are investigating the situation. "The presence of
the official representative of the Ministry will be our first step
to get acquainted to the situation.

After that the Ministry will decide what to do", Lilit Galstyan said.

The Ministry will decide soon who will be the official representative
in the Academy.
