Economist Ara Galoyan took to Facebook on Sunday to denounce the state policies towards universities, highlighting the fact that they are among the 1,000 biggest taxpayers of the country.
“This has to stop at the state level. For instance, there are at least 12 universities on the list of top 1,000 taxpayers. We cannot leave it to a random person to manage such important “financial” institutions,” he said.
“The taxes paid by universities of our country are as follows:
- The 70th largest taxpayer is the Yerevan State Medical University, which paid 2 billion 447 million Armenian drams in taxes;
-
The 79th largest taxpayer is the Yerevan State University, which paid 2 billion 262 million drams in taxes;
-
The 15th largest taxpayer is the American University of Armenia, which paid 1 billion 89 million drams in taxes;
