“A draft legal act by which the government, by its own decision, wants to change the charter of the “Yerevan State University” Foundation, noting that 65% of the board of trustees should be its representatives has been posted on e-draft Unifiede website for publication of legal acts’ drafts.” Lawyer Arsen Torosyan reported.

“This draft is extreme legal illiteracy. Just as the government can make a decision to change the YSU charter, YSU can make a decision to change the structure of the government. In both cases, the legal consequences will be the same.

The reason is that the RA President did not sign the recently adopted RA Law on Higher Education and Science and sent it to the Constitutional Court. Let me remind that according to that law, the current political power would receive absolute levers of political control over the universities.

It is true that the government denied in any way that the purpose of the law was to control the universities, but the draft in published on the e-draft proves otherwise.

“It was not possible to control the universities in an unconstitutional way, they decided to try in an illiterate unconstitutional way,” he said.
