ArmInfo. The Armenian National Security Service has disclosed a case on provision of fake diplomas of a number of non-state universities.
The press office of the National Security Service has told ArmInfo that the rectors of the non-state universities accredited by the Armenian Ministry of Education granted fake diplomas to the students, who missed the lectures, and to the students, who failed to turn up for the final exams.
"It is noteworthy that the fake diplomas were granted not only to the citizens of Armenia, but also to the representatives of other states, including Iran, the US, Georgia, Russia, Uzbekistan, and Israel. Three rectors of the non-state universities face charges based on Articles 200.3 (commercial bribe) and 214.1 (abuse of administrative authority the by the employees of commercial or other organizations against the interests of their organization and in favor of themselves or other persons, if this inflicted damage to citizens or the rights and legal interests of the organization or the state) of the Armenian Criminal Code. The investigation is still underway," the source says.
