Social


"Serzh Sargsyan is the first person involved in the distortion of the Armenian language", say members of the "We are against the reopening of foreign language schools" initiative and that he is the first prizewinner of the "Ashotyan-Delyanov Prize in the Sphere of Licking Others".

With the slogan "High-quality Education for Everyone, No to Foreign Language Schools", members of the initiative gathered near the Matenadaran and announced the names of the winners.

Based on the results of a one-week online vote, nearly 300 citizens saw Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan as the second distorter of the Armenian language, followed by 69 MPs who had voted for the opening of foreign language schools.

The members of the initiative had set medals and a 30 dram prize for the winners and promised to give the prizes to the recipients.

In 2010, after the additions to and the amendments in the RA laws "On Language" and "On Public Education" adopted by the RA National Assembly, there were supposed to be ten foreign language schools the students of which would study foreign languages and literature more in depth.

Member of the "We are against the reopening of foreign language schools" initiative Armen Hovhannisyan says these schools will distort the students' notion of national identity.
