More than 1600 families in Armenia are below the poverty line and need
the state support, chairman of International Association of Lawyers and
Psychologists, Khachatur Marozyan, said at today's press-conference.
"In 2009 we prepared a draft law on entering the Family Day in the list
of holidays of Armenia, which is also celebrated in several countries
of Europe. The draft law was endorsed by the National Assembly
of Armenia. Now we have been preparing a draft law "On strategic
development of family", which will be submitted to the parliament in
autumn of the current year. The creation of a school-family should
be the first step, and participation of the state in this process is
very much important, as the problems of families must not be resolved
only by the efforts of private organizations", - Marozyan said.
He also added that the task of the school-family is to give elementary
and necessary knowledge about family to the growing generation.
For his part, representative of Armenian Apostolic Church, priest
Babken Hayrapetyan, said that the church has blessed the Family Day
holiday and added that the state plays an important part in existence
and development of a family.
"Unfortunately, our state does not create relevant conditions for
keeping of a family. This results in outflow of population. Moreover,
in many cases men do not come back to their families and leave them",
- Hayrapetyan said.
