YSU- participator of RPA. Who is to blame?

Presidential elections, besides changing some reality facts in the political field, registered another, and, perhaps more important reality. Yerevan State University as the state's educational, number one scientific institution in which the policy can not dictate with its dirty feet, does not exist. An "object" called YSU, is, of course, still working, making profitable students' thousands of dollars, which is not clear, but gives "product" under the name of education and profession. But it has nothing to do with the same University that during the Soviet made the Communist Party be nervous, mame made the same Communist Party respect and reverence the teachers working there, many of whom could make students stand and made the totalitarian system accept some truths.

Aram Simonyan finally managed to reach the overarching goal, to turn the university into a participator of the Republican Party, amorphous, independence without some kind of phenomenon.

After famous incident concening the strike, when, we can say, one of the lecturers, Ararat Mirzoyan, who had demanded YSU rector's assistant's resignation of Ararat Mirzoyan, was fired, the rector said that those, who signed for the resignation of his assistant "seldom have regularly classes at the University and do not express the opinion of the University" and there were just two employees, who expressed different opinions from YSU.

Is Aram Simonyan's this observation true? Of course. YSU rector ois well aware of the atmosphere in his University. No lecturer will dare to come with different point of view, moreover, to be engaged in opposition activities.

"The university is outside the sphere of political struggle, I am a member of a party, there are a lot of party members in our University, lecturers, students, staff, but all of these conditions apply outside the University...", in the same interview Simonyan continues inventing tales. 

And the reality different from the tale is that University professors have long turned into "non-political" phenomena, because they understand that out of the Republican Party they can not have anthing to do with politics.

Of course, this irreversible atmosphere also left traces on scientific activities of YSU employees. Lecturers, fearing to lose their job and not to be able to support their family, being in not so enviable social situation, without any hesitation agree to the proposed grants. And as we know, nothing is free in this life, and especially foreign payers are not interested in spending money for the sake of the Republic of Armenia, for the sake of national interests. As a result, the majority of grants persues anti-national goals. And especially YSU professors of Aramsimonyan serve for such a purpose. The lecturers, who during these years have been broken by all possible and impossible means by Aram Simonyan and its mentor, preacher, Education and Science Minister Armen Ashotyan.
