DOORS ARE SHUT AGAINST THE DEAF

Social

"We have nothing to lose. Neither home, nor property or clothes. The 3500 deaf residents of our country will stand up for defence of our rights. We'll take an extreme step if need be - to put bomb in the Municipality building" ,- 12 families threaten.

In 1995 the head of Yerevan's Arabkir Community sold the territory the deaf used to reside on and they had to settle in the Deaf's School of Nork where living conditions are unbearable .

After numerous protests had been made, the deaf were promised to be given a wrecking building of polyclinic in Kanaker. But the promise is not redeemed yet.

The deaf say all those having held the post of a Mayor since 1995 have promised to solve their problem. But those were promises only...

And today doors were shut against them when they tried to enter Municipality building .
