Yerevan theater employees stage sit-in
Employees of Yerevan’s Goy Theater on Thursday resumed a sit-in outside the Gabriel Sundukyan State Academic Theater, demanding the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports restore the theater’s operations.
The Armenian government decided to merge the Goy Theater into the Sundukyan Theater, a move strongly opposed by the Goy staff who challenged the decision in court.
“We demand an urgent interim solution from the ministry to restore the Goy Theater's activity pending the final settlement of the issue by the court and law enforcement agencies,” the theater said in a statement.
