Family violence in also encountered in Armenia. Saying violence we do
not necessarily mean physical violence, as it can be a psychological
one also. And psychological violence is more dangerous, as the
physical one is visible and the soonest measures can be taken; but it
is difficult to reveal the psychological violence,’ said Elizaveta
Danielyan, the judge of the Court of Appeal in the conference
organized by the Justice Department of the Embassy of the U.S.
`We face psychological violence too often. For example, the woman is
not free to choose her specialty and then a job, she is not free to
communicate with her friends,’ said Mrs. Danielyan.
The Ambassador of the U.S. Marie Yovanovich who was also present at
the conference said that the statistical data of family violence in
America is high but they have some improvement in recent years. `The
figures in Armenia are also high. Family violence should not be
supported either in Armenia, or in America, or in some other country
of the world,’ said the Ambassador.
