  Vahagn Khachatryan: bill on foreign language schools opening is a crime June 17, 2010 - 15:19 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Representative of the Armenian National Congress Vahagn Khachatryan labeled the bill envisaging establishment of foreign language schools as a crime. “This has become a national issue, actually,” he said. “If the authorities are really willing to improve the education system, it can be done easily: schools should have no linkage to politics,” he said. Submission of the bill was an order from outside, which the authorities have to fulfill, according to him. “I think no legislative changes are needed for opening foreign language schools. If we start amending a law, we will continue do so in the future,” Khachatryan concluded.
