According to Arman Boshyan, Head of Pan-Armenian Parental Committee, draft law on Prevention of Domestic Violence has been set for another purpose. It has been put into circulation for other purposes, “The law aims at creating a mechanism in the RA, which allows the police and social workers to enter into healthy families for taking healthy children away. This is the main law of Juvenile Justice.” He thinks law just requires work against the consequences. “All those, who say that the law doesn’t have any connection with the fact of taking children away from their families, manipulate the society,” says Boshyan. According to psychologist Samvel Khudoyan, it is not right to transfer family problems to the legal field, “Small problems often occur in families, but before bringing the issue into the legal field, it is necessary to focus on the family problems’ solving therapy.” Zaruhi Hovhannisyan, Coordinator of the “Coalition to Stop Violence against Women”, considered the speakers’ comments to be misinformation and left the press conference of “Hayeli” (Mirror) press club. Arman Boshyan claimed that they had conducted a poll among the parents. According to the poll results, these parents are ready to use violence against those, who will take their children away from them.
