to the issues the handicapped people are facing. As government we
have to improve the life of the handicapped people and, which is
more important, ensure their integration to the society so that they
feel full members in all the spheres of the public life," the prime

According to him, with that aim cooperation must be established
with relevant non-governmental organizations to change the public's
attitude toward disabled people. This upbringing must be given from
kinder-garten and school as a result the handicapped people will not
feel them isolated from the society.
