Government seeks to take over three public universities

The bill passed by the National Assembly in late March would empower the government to appoint most members of the boards of trustees that elect university rectors and make other key decisions.
Yerevan State University and the National Academy of Sciences strongly opposed these changes, saying that they would violate a clause in the Armenian constitution which entitles state-funded colleges to a high degree of autonomy. Sarkissian likewise suggested that they are “contentious in terms of constitutionality” when he announced on 22 April his decision not to sign the bill into law. He also asked the Constitutional Court to rule on its conformity with the constitution. Nevertheless, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s government pressed ahead with the same changes through an executive order issued earlier this month.

Armenia’s Central Election Commission (CEC) began on Tuesday preparations for early parliamentary elections one day after they were officially scheduled for June 20.
President Armen Sarkissian set the date in a decree signed just hours after the Armenian parliament voted to dissolve itself in line with an agreement reached by its opposition minority and Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian.
Pashinian and his political team agreed to hold the snap elections in a bid to end a serious political crisis triggered by Armenia’s defeat in last year’s war in Nagorno-Karabakh. The outgoing parliament controlled by them will formally continue to perform its duties until the formation of a new National Assembly.
