During a session today, the Armenian government approved changes to a
law which previously prohibited deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals
from driving vehicles.

According to RA Minister of Health Harutyun Kushkyan, international
experience was studied and on that basis, the decision was made to
allow deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals to drive in Armenia.

Kushkyan added that they would be allowed to drive if corresponding
signage was fixed on the vehicle.
