There aren’t enough conditions for people with disabilities in Armenia
“Road” film shot by “Bars Media” documentary film studio has been premiered at Narekatsi Art Union. The film is about people who have movement disabilities, who every day face difficulties connected with roads; inaccessibility of public transport, absence of wheelchair ramps, roads difficult to pass. “For people with disabilities in our country moving from point A to point B is extremely difficult; with the help of such activities we want the people to become more demanding as well as to show that irrespective of a disability, these people live a full life and achieve success,” notes Director of the film Anzhela Frangyan. Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania to the RA supported the creation of the film. The representative of the Embassy noted that the film is a call to become better, “One is weak, another is strong, but we all are people and must have equal opportunities. We have similar problems also in our country, but for example in the capital, Vilnius, there are many conveniences, for example buses for the people with disabilities operate very well,” representative of Lithuania’s Embassy told us. By the way, in fact there are 20 buses in Yerevan adjusted to the people with disabilities, but, as we found out, they don’t operate well; even the Municipality doesn’t provide any information about directions and schedule of those buses.
