A. Ashotyan: “Brought and taken by Dashnaktsutyun" (video)
Is Minister of Education and Science offended by the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun)? His position of Minister will be transferred to Levon Mkrtchyan from Dashnaktsutyun. “Brought by Dashnaktsutyun and taken by Dashnaktsutyun,” by replying the question of “A1+”, Armen Ashotyan recalls the joke told in the company of his Dashnak friends. Mr Ashotyan remembers that when in 2009 he took the position from Spartak Seyranyan, they met for many times and tried to make a smooth transfer. And today Minister of Education and Science Armen Ashotyan wants to thank for thousands of reactions, which have been assessments for his work and personal attitude. “Of course, there was also criticism, joy etc. It is natural, people don’t speak good things about politicians, even when they die, God forbid! I haven’t died and I won’t die in the political field, in the near future, God willing,” said Armen Ashotyan. Minister of Education and Science reminds that he has carried out rather hard work during these seven years. “But it was necessary to turn the page. Psychologically I have turned that page, but legally- no, as I am still a minister. We will work until the Minister, appointed in 2009 by the decree of the president, is relieved by the decree of the president in 2016,” said Mr Ashotyan.
