Goy Theater staff protests outside education ministry
The entire staff of Yerevan’s Goy Theater on Tuesday staged a protest outside the Armenian Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports.
They deplored the decision to sack the theater director, Sargis Choloyan, and demanded a meeting with the minister or her deputies.
Karen Simonyan was installed as new head of Goy Theater shortly after Choloyan’s dismissal on Monday.
One of its actors, Samvel Topalyan, said Choloyan had been fired without warning.
“Thus, the whole process was illegal,” he stated.
