/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A seminar-discussion devoted to family relations and
a family’s role in society was held Wednesday in Yerevan. The event
was organized upon the initiative of Khachatur Marozyan, Head of the
International Association of Lawyers and Psychologists, who dwelled on
the existing problems in Armenia and activities towards their solution.
The polls conducted by the organizations have revealed a 34% decrease
of marriages and 39%-40% decrease of birth rate over the past 20-30
years.
"Such rate demonstrates the threats faced by our country," Marozyan
stressed, adding that 3 out of 10 court proceedings in Armenia are
divorce suits, with 1 pursuing social goals.
"We want to restore the lost values to prevent a human being from
becoming a social consumer," he said.
At that, he noted that the Armenian Government and Prime Minister
were proposed two projects: to declare a Family Day and celebrate
it on state level and to launch relevant broadcast series on Public
Television.
