June 14, 2013 | 08:55
YEREVAN. – Armenia does not have a law on sex change, Aravot daily
reports.
“In the meantime, according to plastic surgeon Karen Petrosyan, the
Armenian plastic surgeons are scientifically ready for such complex
surgeries, [and] are as good as the Europeans.
The twelve-year plastic surgeon said too many people apply to them
with a request to have their gender changed. But since there is no
[respective] law, they [i.e., the plastic surgeons] refuse to perform
[such surgery].
Incidentally, the doctors cannot operate also so that no problems
arise in the future with respect to the passport, [and] name change.
In actual fact, a law will not only allow for a sex change, but will
regulate the name change of the given person,” Aravot writes.
