Forum devoted to disability access issues was held today in Yerevan
with the participation of NGO Chairs Armen Alaverdyan (Unison), Suren
Ohanyan ("Paros"), Levon Nersisyan (Astghik) and representatives from
different political parties and candidates for Yerevan Aldermen’s
Council.

"Public awareness of disability issues is very important. During
elections, electoral commissions do not absolutely do anything to
help individuals with disabilities. Why are elections held on second
and not first floors of building? And how come that only newly-built
constructions correspond to all norms and laws? Nothing has changed
for the better in our lives. Disability laws are written in a very
nice language, but they do not function. We hope that newly elected
Aldermen will make real steps to solve our problems," "Unison" NGO
Chair Armen Alaverdyan said.

Political party members and candidates for Aldermen’s Council promised
to do their utmost to help individuals with disabilities in future.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
