Works are being conducted in Armenian city of Gyumri to establish
a working rehabilitation center for the people with disabilities,
Armenian Deputy Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Jemma Bagdasaryan
said at the National Assembly today. According to her, the works
will be over in the upcoming two or three months and the center is
expected to open by the yearend.

Not only the disabled from Shirak, but those from country’s other
regions will be able to visit the center.

abilities of the disabled and providing them with work.

of the people with disabilities and their social integration", aiming
at improvement of the issues related to the social integration of
the handicapped and the protection of their rights and interests.
