YEREVAN. – The “Unison” NGO is holding a photo exhibition in downtown Yerevan on Friday. The event is devoted to the physically challenged, and the exhibition’s 70 photos depict the achievements and existing problems, concerning this domain, throughout the 20 years of Armenia’s independent statehood.    

There are old and new buildings in Armenia today which have been accommodated for the physically challenged, “Unison’s” Executive Director Armen Alaverdyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am. “We must have determination and must respect Armenia’s laws and international commitments.” He also added that there is no transport in Armenia for the physically challenged. 

In his words, the freedom of movement of the physically challenged is violated virtually everywhere, and, with such events, they are trying to achieve results. 

The photo exhibition is organized along the lines of the “Unrestricted Movement: Right for All” Project, and is held by “Unison” and “Astghik” NGO’s, with assistance by Counterpart International Armenia and the  United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
