ArmInfo. ‘The social conditions of the children adopted by foreign
citizens will be regularly verified. In case of any violations, the
adopted child will be immediately taken under temporary custodial
care>, Justice Minister of Armenia Gevorg Danielyan said at a seminar
devoted to the country’s commitments under the national legislation and
the Convention on Children Protection and Cooperation in the Sphere of
International Adoption of Children.
He said that in case of any violations of the social conditions of the
adopted child, all the further steps will be coordinated with the
central agency – the Justice Ministry of Armenia and in conformity with
the interests of the child. The minister said that over the last ten
months (since Armenia’s joining the above Convention on June 1 2007),
no facts of violation were registered in the Convention
signature-countries. ‘We sent relevant documents for more effective
cooperation to the Central Agencies of the Convention signature-states.
We collect information on the majority of the children also from
unofficial sources. Thus, by combined efforts of the Ministry of Labor
and Social Affairs and the Governmental
Department for Social Affairs, photos and various data on the state and
diseases of the adopted children are received constantly’, the minister
said.
