Anahit Vardanyan, the headmaster of Artashat secondary school No. 1, is one of 30 headmasters, who have filed a lawsuit against the project coordinator of the “Union of Informed Citizens” NGO Daniel Ioannisyan. She demands an apology and 2 million AMD in compensation for defamation.
Ms. Vardanyan said that it was inadmissible that campaign against school directors and secret record. To our question, whether she was wounded as it was recorded secretly, she answered: “Both for the secret record and it not being true.” She does not accept that schools are politicized and are set to collect the votes of the Republican Party. “But who would do such a thing during the class, there was even written, I read, that the lists were at them. Maybe that person had them at him, but it does not mean that they worked for it during the class.”
Anahit Vardanyan hopes that school directors’ suit will be satisfied: “I do not know, if you were a headmaster, how pleasant it would be for you to accept such words about you, I do not even say, what was said and discussed in Yerevan. It was a hideous thing, I do not consider it was a right approach, it was hideous. If I was not a headmaster, if I were an ordinary teacher or a worker, I would disapprove of that phenomena. Who said that the headmasters are, I do not know… what, all of them are very smart, educated and versed people, all headmasters, why should they have spoken about them in such way. They say as if headmasters have solely done politics, nonsense. All headmasters, I know my colleagues, I know myself, we work on a heavy schedule the whole day through – orders, educational process, etc. They had put it as if all concerns of those headmasters are related to politics.
