Armenian President signs Lanzarote Convention

Arminfo, Armenia

ArmInfo.Armenian President Armen Sarkissian signed the Lanzarote Convention, previously ratified by the RA National Assembly. This was reported by the press service of the President of Armenia.

To recall, the Convention, ratified by the Armenian parliament on May  11, declares the protection of children from sexual and other  violence. The methods proposed to protect children from the described  types of violence include sex education at school, which, according  to experts, is depravity rather than protection of children. The  discussion of the Convention caused a sharply negative reaction in  the Armenian society.
