The authorities must prevent the disgrace of Armenian science and initiate legal proceedings against the officials.

Chairman of the Council of Armenian Specialists, Doctor of Sciences,

holder of the international scientific award named after Marie Curie

 

A new Academy of Sciences is currently being formed.

Officials have proposed new rules for elections to this academy, and it turned out that these rules are so foolish (so monstrous) that a scientist, who has ten Nobel Prizes, can be rejected by our officials and not allowed to run for elections to the Armenian Academy of Sciences.

For example, one of the officials' requirements is as follows. Anyone who is elected must have had a graduate student in the last four years. Thus, if a ten-time Nobel laureate has not had a graduate student in the last four years, our officials will simply reject him and not allow him to run for elections.

What is this!?

Any normal person would simply be left speechless by such monstrous nonsense.

Can anyone deny that the officials who proposed such rules should be prosecuted!?

Does anyone in power understand that such an academy is a disgrace for Armenia? Do people understand that everyone who learns about all this will look down on Armenia?

 

My proposal is to stop the elections to such a disgusting academy, to develop proper proposals for the Armenian academy

and only then hold new elections for a new Academy!

 

I have long described the proper proposals in my articles: see the latest article: “Pashinyan and the Opposition have no idea about genocide in science.

I present a scheme to stop this genocide”  https://nt.am/ru/news/357901/

Everything is described there: both the criteria for proper evaluation of scientists and the rules for forming a new academy.

 

 

Below is

A comment on other monstrous sins of officials, not yet considered by the authorities.

For many years I have been writing that our officials have come up with extremely idiotic, deadly laws for science. Currently, science and the academy of Armenia are governed by Soros-style rules aimed at killing science. Officials propose to evaluate scientists solely based on the number of their publications. This is incredible idiocy.  To clearly prove that this is idiocy, it is enough to note that the great mathematician S. Mergelyan (who had few publications) is evaluated by the rules proposed by officials as a laboratory assistant.  This is mind-boggling! The government (the ministry and the committee) has been informed by me about such a monstrous situation, and no one has taken any steps to rectify this situation (see my article “On the monstrous crime in Armenian science,” https://nt.am/ru/news/355938/ )

It could be assumed that these officials are simply idiots. But when you point out to an idiotic official that he is wrong and his actions are harmful to the country, he is obliged to take steps to correct the situation. Since they ignored my information, it can be assumed that they are not just idiots, but enemies of the country.

World-renowned academicians of the USSR, Kurchatov, Artsimovich, Korolev, as well as three-time hero Kiril Shchelkin (Metaksian) had no publications in the sense of “our officials”; all their publications were closed. So they would also be evaluated by “our officials” as laboratory assistants. Can you imagine the degree of idiocy of “our officials”!?

This is genocide of science!
