Contentious material

The material in question regarding alleged comments made by the subject of this biography is currently unacceptable as written, per WP:BLP.

The only sources are a repost of an article from an apparently-defunct and unverifiable Armenian student-run journal and an unbylined apparent press release from an Armenian student group. Neither of these are reliable sources for contentious material about living persons.
The material constitutes significant undue weight - well over half the article text was about one minor alleged incident 13 years ago.

The material needs to be rewritten in a neutral, balanced and properly-weighted fashion with support from reliable sources. I suggest the editor who has reverted the material into the article should begin discussing it here. polarscribe (talk) 05:37, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
