Acting Prime Minister proposed to develop a roadmap to address the problems of persons with disabilities

ArmInfo. Acting  Armenian Prime Minister Nikol  Pashinyan proposed to develop a roadmap that will allow resolving the  main problems that people with disabilities face in steps. Pashinyan  invited representatives of non-governmental organizations dealing  with the rights of persons with disabilities to consider this  issue.

Welcoming the participants of the meeting, the head of  government noted that there are many problems in this area that  should be recognized, but the main problem is how to solve them so as  not to lose ends. He proposed to classify all questions by priority  and try to find solutions to them step by step. <Not only to protect  the rights of people with disabilities, but also in any other area,  we'll not be able to solve all the problems right away; we'll make it  worse and don't get results. Therefore, we need a road map and I hope  that our meeting today will serve this goal, "said Pashinyan.Deputy  Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Zaruhi Batoyan noted that the  problems of people with disabilities are mainly related to the lack  of services, the inaccessible environment, physical, informational  conditions, the lack of adequate means of transportation, that is,  the unsatisfactory quality of life. The ministry is working on these  issues, primarily by initiating the liberalization of public  services, creating competition between their providers.Then an  interesting exchange of ideas took place. Nikol Pashinyan instructed  to strictly control the issues of providing conditions for disabled  people in inter-city and city transport. The problems of children  with autism were affected. Nikol Pashinyan stressed that the Armenian  government is ready to take the necessary measures to create a modern  specialized center for these children and called on the NGO  representatives to make their proposals.
