Hraparak: Soros Foundation ‘declares war’ on Ashotyan
Open Society Institute – Soros Foundations network Armenia “has declared a war” on Armenian Education Minister Armen Ashotyan, Hraparak writes.
The newspaper has learned that a number of NGOs filed complaints to the World Bank U.S. office demanding suspension of financing of educational programs in Armenia. According to them, the reforms in the educational sector are not implemented in the right direction. They pointed to gender problems, the increased role of the Armenian Apostolic Church and politicization of higher educational institutions.
An American delegation will visit Armenia this week to study complaints of NGOs, after which a final decision will be made.
