Armen Ashotyan: It is not correct to draw parallels between HHK school and Soviet-era school
Armen Ashotyan, Vice-Chairman of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (HHK), will personally coordinate the fomation of a political school which will be named after the late Prime Minister Andranik Margaryan. The decision to form a political school after the politician was made by the HHK supreme body earlier in March. “Melik Adamyan 2 (the street where the HHK headquarters is situated) will continue to remain one of the key structures in Armenia’s political life,” Armen Ashotyan said during a meeting with journalists on March 30. During the meeting, Ashotyan presented his party’s vision about the political school. He says it is not correct to compare this school with that of the Communist Party school, which existed during the Soviet era. “This is a common practice in European countries. Any self-respecting political force in Europe has its political school,” the former Minister of Education and Science said. He added that the school will also be open for people who do not have any party affiliation. “If the HHK fails to create its political school, no other party will be able to do it,” Ashotyan added.
