According to the Vanadzor Office of the Helsinki Citizens~R Assembly,
there are 45,000 individuals in Armenia suffering from a variety of
mental health disorders whose rights aren~Rt being defended.
The civic organization states that Armenia, a signatory to the U.N.
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, has failed to
fulfill a number of obligations in this sector.
The Assembly argues that those with mental disorders remain alienated
from their communities and social life in general and cannot defend
their rights effectively.
