arrive in Artsakh with great difficults, besides, in limited period of
time they have to examine about 350 patients. For realizing fully
the service, it’s necessary to have such specialists on the spot. Just
for that reason it was decided to create sociological cabinet, which
will make easier the works of armenian specialists, and will be also
great assistance for NKR people having bad hearing.
