State Medical University, Yerevan, Republic of Armenia © Onnik Krikorian / Hetq Online 2006
The attendance in the meeting turned out to be an approximate of 350 students. The students spoke among themselfs first clarifying all what had been discussed with the rector earlier that day and on April 23rd.The dean arrived later, along with the pro-rector only to blame us of playing with her honestly. She spoke of what she did at that moememt,telling us that she was stunned and could do nothing because the boy’s state was already out of reach. All I still want to ask her is why at that moement, didnot even stoop down for a second to check his pulse and ensure us standing around that he was alive.
The Pro-rector tells us that she(the Dean) cannot be removed form the post, when questioned later on , he ask’s us, ‘Is it turely a case to worry?’ Most of the students had lost hope when he mentioned that. The feeling that their plea’s were being heard by deaf ears. The pro-rector tells us that the investigation is being taken up by the local Criminal Bureau, and that it would take a month for the results to come out and until then nothing can be done to the dean.
The students, when asked for the rector to come. They first replied by saying that she was in a very important meeting, next the pro-rector telling us that she would be there any moment. It was like they were making excuses for her delay. Finally the pro-rector tells us that the meeting will not take place if the Media person’s remain inside. For which the students reply that they want them to be there. What was their fear if nothing was there to hide? The media persons, inculding Onnik were asked to move out.
Few students started to leave. When the delay was made even more the students remaning there lost hope of what was going to happen next. Everyone walked out.
Just because they need to answer, they are delaying things as much as they can and try to get rid of the things. But you guys hold on to it! till the results come. And they will come out!.. Just act carefully and to the dot!!..
Im truly SORRY mate that Im quite late here! Thanks for emailing me…now I see what has been happening. My deepest condolences to u for losing a fellow mate…I dun think that anything I say here is going to make u feel better…grief must be grieved, I can only be by ur side.
I read that ur mate fell from the 6th floor…how? Was he pushed, suicide attempt or was it an accident? It’s not clear to me. And why was the ambulance 40min late?? Thats pretty slack! And why didnt anyone do anything to him for couple of minutes?
Keshi.
What happened after they made the media leave is the following. After about 15 minutes, the guy was who translating, come back saying the rector won’t come down because the media is standing behind the door, which does not count as leaving. Bullshit, the media was not standing behind the door, the media was pushed in a separate room and was hold there. And by the way, the rector did promise a press conference with media present. She broke her promise, yesterday, TWICE.
[...] Nayaar? has posted an update on yesterday’s meeting held at Yerevan’s State Medical University (YSMU). The meeting was agreed upon by six representatives of Indian students in Armenia and YSMU’s Rector. The attendance in the meeting turned out to be approximately 350 students. The students spoke among themselves first clarifying all what had been discussed with the rector earlier that day and on April 23rd.The dean arrived later, along with the pro-rector only to blame us of playing with her honesty. She spoke of what she did at that moement,telling us that she was stunned and could do nothing because the boy’s state was already out of reach. All I still want to ask her is why at that moement, didnot even stoop down for a second to check his pulse and ensure us standing around that he was alive. [...]
Did they give any explanation to why they were not able to do anything for 40 minutes?
Why weren’t the Indian students out there not allowed to help the guy?
Why didn’t you guys give him first aid? Was any action taken to stop blood loss atleast?
I wish no Indian student goes to Armenia for further studies hereafter. Those guys in there are just mad and don’t seem to have any concern for fellow humans. Pure racists!! and I dont think that the dean would step down in any case.
Please catch up with the local Criminal Bureau and find out what results they come up with.
If they can’t remove the rector until the criminal investigation, there is certainly no reason why they can’t suspend her until the conclusion of the investigation. This is a common practice all over the world and there is no reason why they can’t do this in Armenia also.
You guys are doing great in the way you are dealing with all this. Keep on the pressure, stay united and you will get the results you desire.
Very Very nice information here… Thanks
