Republicans Will Have to Vote for Re-Opening of Foreign-Language Schools: Confession's Confession

Member of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia and Head of the Standing Committee on Social Affairs of the National Assembly of Armenia Hakob Hacobyan made a remarkable confession as he spoke about the Government-backed bill that will allow re-opening foreign-language schools in Armenia if adopted by the parliament.

Hacobyan, in fact, did not deny that the Party will be obliged to vote in favor of the initiative.

"If the bill has been proposed by the Republican Party [of Armenia], by the government, then the National Assembly must vote in favor of that bill. How else could you imagine?" said Hakobyan.

"I cannot speak about schools now, but I can clearly say that the society, the state, the citizens must fight for education," said he adding that we must not combat for obtaining knowledge.

"Who is against foreign languages? All want to know their native language and learn foreign ones. That is the case in all over the world: few are the poor in a society that has knowledge," concluded Hakobyan.
