How to refrain from a "headache"
Chairman of the Social-Democratic (Hnchakyan) Party's "Sargis Tkhruni" student youth union Garik Manukyan issued a statement today, which reads as follows:
"Recently, RA Minister of Education and Science Armen Ashotyan made an announcement on reducing the spots for Master's and PhD degrees at universities by half in the coming academic year. Then, presses wrote that the Ministry of Defense is planning to propose to the government to raise the level of army recruitment from 27 to 32-35 years of age.
With these steps, the illegitimate authorities are causing a serious blow to development of science, which will lead to the lack of young specialists. It is clear that by this they are trying to solve a very important problem. The rise of the age for army recruitment will lead to enormous emigration. A large sector of the youth wishing to continue studies will leave the country and will never return after spending 10-15 years abroad.
This is a very "effective" way to refrain from any additional headaches because everyone knows that youth have always been the most rebellious level of society that doesn't put up with these authorities' illegal actions and leads an unbreakable struggle against any injustice in the country.
The Social-Democratic (Hnchakyan) Party's "Sargis Tkhruni" student youth union calls on all youth to consolidate around this issue. If we stay silent and don't fight against this illegal action and if we calmly watch them steal our future, then we will be no less responsible for our decision than these authorities," as stated in the statement.
