In his speech, President Sahakyan noted that since 2008 an extensive and hard work had been done to eliminate violations registered in the process of establishing and specifying disability groups. Bako Sahakyan underlined that the requirements towards this process had remained clear-cut and required maximum objectivity and transparency, respectful attitude towards the disabled, adding that each application requesting to review the degree of disability should be thoroughly considered and a comprehensive answer should be given to the applicant.

President Sahakyan considered necessary to involve the non-governmental sector in this process, in particular the "The Union of Artsakh Freedom Fighters" and "Vita" NGO that provides support to wounded soldiers of the Artsakh National Liberation War.
