“Bridge of hope” social organization launched an action before the City Hall towards Erebuni-Yerevan holiday entitled “Yerevan is my city, too.”
More than 180.000 disabled people live in Armenia. They are deprived of moving freely, visiting educational, cultural, health and other facilities, making use of transport means and elementary opportunities of taking part in social life.
Lots of projects are being worked out now, different programs are being realized directed to renovation of the capital city of improving transport means, but disabled people still continue living isolated.
This was the purpose of the protest of the disabled people. They came to meet Yerevan’s mayor Taron Margaryan and hand him a letter, by which they ask to include them in general development program of the city.
“We feel ourselves alien in our city, Yerevan is not ours. Mr mayor, haven’t You ever been interested in where are our city’s disabled people, and why don’t we meet them in places, where others can be seen? Your initiative in constructing playing yards in Yerevan is highly appreciated, but have you ever thought where are the disabled children? Don’t they want to play?
Today disabled people continue living isolated in our city,” the letter read.
