Asked by a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter whether the teachers are going to take any action, Torosyan said “it makes no sense, as the order was received from the government.” Top stories The number of state universities will be reduced from 23 to 8 by 2030, Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sport Zhanna Andreasyan has said.
