Zaruhi Batoyan: People with disabilities are trapped in their homes

The rights of people with disabilities are not protected in Armenia, says Zaruhi Batoyan, editor of Disabilityinfo.am. “Should their rights be protected, they would be next to us today. We would see them at schools, in cities and elsewhere.  But most of them today are trapped in their homes,” she said. Zaruhi Batoyan says disabled people who are actively engaged in public life make a small percentage.  At the same time she advised considering the problems of these people when making investments in the country.
