CORRUPTION STARTS FROM HIGHER EDUCATIONAL ESTABLISHMENTS

Politics

The leaders of the youth wings of three parties assembled today to discuss corruption in educational sphere and its outcome among the youth.

They were unanimous in one matter; certain measures were taken but the drawbacks are still evident. There is no country where one cannot counter corruption in every step and by this conclusion they tried to find a consolation.

They particularly referred to the corruption in higher educational establishments. The representatives of the Dashnatsutyun Party youth wing urged that they held polling on educational corruption. At first other parties also joined them but later many of them left them, among them Ishkhan Saghatelyan, Republican Party representative.

His opponent Karen Avagyan, chairman of the Republican Party youth wing claimed that they still continue corruption combat but they didn’t sign the document in which false data on corruption was presented. Arman Vardanyan, chairman of “Young Political Figures’ Club” noted that he can illustrate 100 examples of corruption but it will be useless as none of the bribe takers has been punished so far.

He addressed to Ishkhan Saghatelyan with the question whether they will continue their combat in the same speed and in the same way taking into consideration the fact that the Minister of Science and Education is from their party. The latter answered that their combat wasn’t against Eritsyan and it wasn’t personal. “The combat will become much easier as the Minister is from the Dashnaktsutyun Party,” said Saghatelyan.

Samvel Farmanyan, chairman of the OYP youth wing noted that when he was still a student he could unite students and expel a lecturer from the university, “the youth must differ with their behavior and deeds.’

Then they suggested a few ways of corruption combat. “We either combat against corruption or join it,” concluded Karen Avagyan. “We must be guided by the motto “I am the country,” added Ishkhan Saghatelyan. Then they decided to meet in two months to discuss the results.
