Deputy Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of Armenia Arevik Anapiosyan expressed hope Wednesday that the Istanbul Convention would soon be ratified in Armenia.

Her remarks came during the launch of the program on the prevention and punishment of domestic violence in Armenia.

According to her, it is important to create an appropriate atmosphere in the society, as well as a change in the education system.

“It is frightening that in our society many people neglect the problem of domestic violence,” she said.

Anapiosyan highlighted the importance of the fact that the implementation of the reform program for the development of gender equality is accompanied by the involvement of the general population.

Armenian authorities and the Council of Europe launched on Wednesday the joint program on the prevention and punishment of domestic violence in Armenia.

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
