MP candidate: social programs mustn’t be restricted to pension

PanARMENIAN.Net - Personal and party interests don’t clash in Heritage party, non-partisan candidate running for the National Assembly by proportional list of Heritage party said.

Prior to nominating my candidacy, I was engaged in protection of rights of disabled people, Arman Musheghyan said.

Dwelling on Heritage social program, he stressed drafting a law addressing the rights of the disabled people as priority area of his activity, unlike social programs that are restricted to pensions and goals only.

“Luckily, the last law on the similar issue wasn’t adopted. It portrayed disabled people as a burden on society,” Mr. Musheghyan said, urging to focus on the ideological basis of parties.
