“It is nonsense to blame HAK for plagiarism”
Mane Hakobyan, PhD in Physical and Technical Sciences, today blamed the Armenian National Congress (HAK) for appropriating the ideas of her research work.
Arshak Banuchyan, a senior member of the Armenian National Congress (HAK) and former -Vice-Director of Matenadaran Institute of Old Manuscripts, says Hakobyan's statement is absurd and unfounded.
"When someone takes ups the pen and starts writing, he shoulf realize that he is doing it for others to read, approve and use his ideas. He must take great delight in it," said Banuchyan.
The HAK member finds Hakobyan's accusation ungrounded for the simple reason that the HAK has not yet publicized its program which is still under discussion.
"In fact, we are speaking about a political program, rather than a patented work," he stressed.
"If somebody says in his environmental program that trees must not be cut down and others repeat it, should they be accused of plagiarism?" concluded Banuchyan.
