    YEREVAN. - Departments to protect the rights of families, women
    and children at Yerevan city hall and Armenia's regions violated
    legislative power, said MP from Heritage Party Anahit Bakhshyan.

    Bakhshyan said her conclusions are based on number of reports provided
    by Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs.

    "For instance, according to the data provided by the Yerevan
    municipality and heads of regional administrations, the number
    of children enrolled in secondary state and specialized schools
    makes 381,699. The figure differs from the data provided by "General
    Education in Armenia 2009-2010"guidebook. This is a clear violation of
    the fundamental right of children to education," she told journalists
    on Tuesday.

    Bakhshyan also pointed out violation of the right to education for
    children with disabilities.

    She also recalled the incident which occurred in Gyumri orphanage.

    "Director of this orphanage - Ruzan Avagyan abused power causing a AMD
    4 million damage to Armenia's budget. She was arrested then released
    without paying compensation. Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs
    decided that Avagyan, an honorary director, should be forgiven,"
    MP said.

    Representative of the ministry present at press conference dismissed
    Bakhshyan's accusations concluding that damage "inflicted by honorary
    director Avagyan was insignificant".
