Armenia Now Permits Deaf & Hard-of-Hearing Individuals to Drive

During a session today, the Armenian government approved changes to a law which previously prohibited deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals from driving vehicles.

According to RA Minister of Health Harutyun Kushkyan, international experience was studied and on that basis, the decision was made to allow deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals to drive in Armenia.

Kushkyan added that they would be allowed to drive if corresponding signage was fixed on the vehicle.
