YSU assistant to rector not to be dismissed

PanARMENIAN.Net - Yerevan State University (YSU) rector’s office issued a statement.

“Reaffirming commitment to freedom of speech and understanding the indignation of a group of students, YSU rector’s office condemns the unacceptable phenomena of crossing the borderline between freedom of speech and civilized behavior. We urge everyone to show mutual respect and ability to heed contradictory viewpoints. We urge media to provide appropriate coverage of events, rather than spread misinformation,” the statement reads.

In conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, head of YSU Public Relations and Information Administration Karen Grigoryan said, assistant to YSU rector Gevorg Melkonyan was not dismissed from post.

“The rector condemned his behavior, however, noted absence of enough reasons to dismiss him from his position,” Mr Grigoryan said.
