A member of the Yerevan City Council called upon to create a biological safety foundation

“In the Soviet years, there were over 150 thousand births in Armenia. Today, 30-35 thousand births a year is considered a high birth rate. Not to speak about that, in this situation, the emigration has reached an alarming temps. We now also have health problems: men’s sterility reaches approximately 45%. These are serious and disturbing indicators that should not be looked through fingers. These figures require serious analysis and conclusions.”,- expressed her concern the PAP party members in the Yerevan City Council Armine Gyulazyan in the conversation with Aravot. The council member having the specialty of physician emphasizes the importance of the new policy on restoration of national gene pool and reproduction.

Armine Gyulazyan, personally, has her own perceptions in the resolution of this problem. “We need to create a biological safety foundation. Every newborn should have its share in this fund. Such a fund is a necessary condition for the promotion of our gene pool reproduction.” The funding sources of the Foundation, according to our interlocutor, can be regular church donations, including two Patriarchal chairs, Etchmiadzin and Antelias. The Armenian humanitarian capital, annual Diaspora contributions should also have their participation. For example, our dual citizen compatriots, according to Mrs. Armine, can contribute one dollar in the form of membership fee per month to the Foundation, as the Jews do. She believes that annual marathons should be organized for the Foundation, as an example of “Hayastan” All-Armenian Fund.

“Our gene pool safety, today, requires a new urban policy,”- believes our interlocutor. According to her, it is necessary to preserve and not to distort Tamanyan architecture in the future solutions of urban development and architecture. “How beautiful are today’s modern and high-rise buildings next to Tamanyan buildings from the viewpoint of harmony? Also, such constructions do not comply with our ground, as 5-7 storey buildings are designed by Tamanyan designs, especially for the central parts of Yerevan.”,-says the council member. In her opinion, the safety of our gene pool needs to a day early pass to a mass and affordable house building from elite house building. “Let it not sound thunderous, but today it is necessity of our vital national preservation. Here, it assumes the participation of the municipality, and charitable contributions, as well as of beneficiaries, the population.” According to a member of the council, the residents will be happy to invest even their scarce

resources for the sake of their family’s future security. And the urban and the political authority should taken the chance and use this circumstance to bring the programs to reality, for which the voter’s vote has requested. Also, it is necessary to direct the resources correctly and targeted that are invested in the urban economy for charitable purposes.

In addition, our interlocutor considers the development and application of a new concept of health care primary, which will include protection of labor rights for medical personnel, salary increase for medical personnel and increase of general living standards, and provision of medical services free or at least 50% discount for the medical staff. She also emphasizes the importance of food safety issues. She has noticed that there is no laboratory in Armenia that would be able to conducting check-ups in compliance with modern standards. In the general context, our interlocutor is also concerned about the issues of landscaping of the city, solid waste management, and supports the existence of solid waste processing plant, which will be of mutual benefit, ecological problems will be resolved, and the fertilizer received in the result of the plant functioning will be used for agricultural purposes.
