To note, on Nov 28 the cadets of Poqr Mher held a protest action,  demanding their headmaster Vahagn Yakhmuryan's resignation. On the  same day, Armenian Minister of Education and Science Levon Mkrtchyan  set up a working group to survey the situation around Poqr Mher.   Vahagn Yakhmuryan was appointed headmaster about a month ago.  The  cadets say that after the appointment the atmosphere at Poqr Mher has  abruptly changed for the worse, and the attitude of the officers  towards the cadets has also deteriorated.
