    YEREVAN, December 3, /ARKA/. Armen Alaverdian, head of Unison
    non-governmental organization, dealing with problems of people with
    limited physical abilities, said to a news conference today that
    employment was their main problem.

    He commended VivaCell and Orange telecommunications and some other
    companies for hiring people with physical disabilities. However, he
    added, that their number across the country is several hundred only,
    or 8% of all disabled people who according to government data are
    180,000 and the majority of them are able-bodied.

    Arpine Abrahamian, head of Salvage non-governmental organization,
    dealing with children and youth problems, said the majority of
    employers have no idea what a huge potential people with disabilities
    have.
