YEREVAN. – Since September 27, 2020, a total of 457 people have applied and been examined for being included in disability groups, and 368 of them have been recognized as having a disability. The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs of Armenia stated this in response to an Armenian News-NEWS.am inquiry.

Armenian News-NEWS.am had sent a request to find out how many participants of the recent Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) war had applied for and received first-, second- or third-degree disability status, and how many of them were eligible for prosthetics.

“65 people were issued the 1st-group disability category, 119 people—2nd group, 184 people—the 3rd group category. As of 10. 02. [20]21, 66 of those recognized as having a disability need prostheses for upper or lower limbs,” they added from the ministry.


Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
