Minister of Education and Science of the Republic of Armenia Armen Ashotian wouldn't refer to the reopening of the Armenian-Turkish border if the Protocols didn't highlight the formation of an educational sub-commission.

"I think that our Ministry is ready to work within its circle of competence in an effort to register progress in the sphere in case the Protocols are ratified by the two countries," Armen Ashotian said to A1+.

The Minister of Education and Science today totaled the first 100 days in office.

Mr. Ashotian says with the start of a new academic year the Ministry's hot line has hotted up. Mostly, the Ministry gets calls from capital schools.  

The Minister promises to check each call though most of them are unanimous.

The problem of "money collecting" becomes most concerning on the eve of Teacher's Day.

"The huge army of our teachers needs no money: it needs public respect and esteem," said Mr. Ashotian.
