/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `There are currently 3 types of discrimination
demanding urgent solution in Armenia: domestic violence against women
and girls, discrepancies of marriageable age between men and women and
level of women’s involvement in decision-making processes depending on
the level of their education. It is necessary to elaborate mechanisms
and systems for resolving those problems and have women’s
representation in all spheres of state activities,’ Head of RA MFA
International Organizations Department Dziunik Aghajanyan told a news
conference devoted to Armenia’s compliance with the Convention on
Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.

Our parties today mostly fit the `male club’ status,’ said MP Hermine
Naghdalyan, Head of Women’s Council.

Jemma Hasratyan, Head of the Association of Women with University
Education, divulged the results of gender equality studies which
classify Armenia as the 91st country in the list of 134 states.

Conference was attended by NA parliamentarians, as well as
representatives from RA Government and Ministries.

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
