The servicemen have noted that they come across with obstacles in the full execution of their rights. They highlighted the issue of building ramps in public places.

The MPs have underlined that all persons with disability in Armenia receive support from the government. Those with 3^rd grade have educational, health, labor and other guarantees.

The provision of necessary conditions for full execution of rights to education, labor, social, health issues, free move and other rights and the problems of April four-day war participants were touched upon.

In terms of raising the public awareness, the participants of the discussion highlighted the publicity of information on persons with disabilities.

The MPs promised to be consistent for the solution of the raised problems, and if possible, solve them by law or submit proposals to the responsible bodies in the framework of authority. An agreement was reached to make such meetings continuous.
