Protesting students refuse to attend classes until minister announces resignation
A group of students continue protest action in front of Education, Science, Culture and Sports Ministry demanding resignation of minister Arayik Harutyunyan.
The young people are holding posters with “Arayik go away!” and “Students, let’s join!” slogans.
“We are against the values they are trying to impose on us. Shooting film about homosexuals is against our values. Our ministry must deal with preservation of national identity and not shoot such films. Arayik Harutyunyan has not demonstrated himself in any good way but is known only with his bad vocabulary. He considers it above his honor to receive and listen to the students and we in our turn reject such minister,” one of the students said.
The protesting students also claimed that no matter how the leadership of the universities threaten them with removals due to number of absentees they will not attend the classes until Arayik Harutyunyan gathers his things and leaves.
