    DISABLED IN ARMENIA HAVE FALLEN INTO NEGLECT

    Commission on Culture, Education and Social affairs of the Black Sea
    Economic Cooperation's Parliamentary Assembly started Wednesday its 22nd
    session presided by Dumitru Buzatu, the Vice-Chair of the Commission and the
    head of Romanian delegation.

    Parliamentary delegations from Turkey, Moldova, Bulgaria, Albania, Ukraine,
    Russia and Georgia arrived in Yerevan to attend the session. Azeri
    delegation didn't come because of technical problems.

    The subject of the discussion was social, economic and civil rights of the
    disabled.

    Russian representative Adam Tleuz spoke on physical and social obstacles the
    disabled face.

    It was pointed out at the session, that rights of the disabled are being
    infringed in Armenia and the republic's medical centers are far from
    international standards.

    The session participants urged the BSEC governments and parliaments to take
    steps to bring their countries' laws on the disabled in correspondence with
    international standards paying special attention to disabled children and
    women.

    The commission's 23th session will be convened on September 29, 30 in
    Kishinev, Moldova.
