Member of the “For Science Development” initiative David Petrosyan resumed the hunger strike at the Yerevan State University’s Faculty of Physics. Yuri Avagyan, a member of the initiative, also went on hunger strike with him.
In our interview with him, David Petrosyan said in particular that Article 22, paragraph 5 of the Law on the “Military Service and Status of Servicemen”, provides students with a significant breakthrough in the field of science with deferment right. It is unclear for David Petrosyan what criteria will be taken to decide that.
He suggests taking steps to exclude corruption risks in the education sector. David Petrosyan is concerned that the discussions do not produce results.
Let us remind that the “For Science Development” initiative today spread a statement in which particularly mentioned: “after holding a constructive position and not getting to at least a mutually acceptable result, the “For Science Development” initiative has no choice other than to cease discussions with the authorities and continue the fight from the point it had stopped at”.
