Nobody can represent the issues concerning the disabled at the National
Assembly better than the disabled themselves. This is what Head of
the "Paros" Center for the Cultural and Educational Development of
the Disabled Suren Ohanyan said during a press conference today.
No political party has offered Suren Ohanyan to join the proportional
list. Even though Head of "Harmony" NGO Albert Abgaryan has received
an invitation, he has declined.
"I'm part of another team, but the offer was from another team. I
won't betray my team," said Abgaryan without mentioning who the offer
was from.
Albert Abgaryan is from Serzh Sargsyan's team. He works for Sargsyan's
administration as a lawyer, but the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK)
didn't remember him when forming the party list.
The disabled say the government and the opposition don't fully
appreciate the strengths and capabilities of the disabled.
They say the fact that 80 percent of the polling stations aren't
suitable for the disabled goes to show that the government doesn't
care about their right to vote.
There are 164,000 disabled voters in Armenia, making up more than 6
percent of the population with the right to vote.
"This is a huge electoral mass that has to be used," said Suren
Ohanyan.
