Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport Denies Reports of Coercing Employees to Join Political Rallies

The Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of Armenia has denied reports that their employees were instructed to participate in political rallies.

In a statement, the ministry said: “The news disseminated by certain social media users, claiming that employees of institutions operating under the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport have been instructed to participate in political actions, is not true. We deem it necessary to emphasize that spreading such false information does not contribute to the formation of a climate of solidarity and further exacerbates the existing tensions in society. We call on the media, individual actors, and citizens to refrain from disseminating false, absurd news.”
