"The situation observed on roads of Armenia was existing in Western
Europe 30 years ago when the number of cars increased sharply," Max
Mosly, the president of International Automobile Federation told a
press conference today.
As Mosly and David Ward, Executive Director of Fund FIA noted their
visit aims to support the newly established National Council of Road
Safety in Armenia. "Actually, no one in Armenia uses security belts,"
Mosly said. David Ward assures that after 5 years of using security
belts the records on road mortality will report sharp decrease. They
say 95% of drivers in Switzerland use security belts.
Today in the capital park "Victory" a special training apparatus
will be exhibited for showing the usage of security belts. This is
a start of public advocacy program to use security belts. The second
part of the program will be education on driving, Mkrtich Piltoyan,
Armenian Automobile Federation president said.
