Where are the shameless children of these people???
"The senior citizens we have served and continue to serve have spent their working years in a variety of establishments, including universities, offices, schools, hospitals and cultural institutions. Unlike the Soviet era, when this segment of society was assured a financially comfortable retirement, the independence of Armenia caused unexpected hardships, particularly for those without relatives or children who could ease their later years."
Berge Setrakian
President of AGBU

Mr. Setrakian is too kind. Most of the abandoned Armenian seniors do have relatives and many even have their own children. The pieces of garbage that those children are, they do not provide for their impoverished parents neither materially nor emotionally. I know some of these people first-hand (and if even I, not a social person at all, know that type of people directly, they are probably spread in the society much more widely).
Read the appeal by AGBU in its entirety, look at the pictures, and feel ashamed for the nation!
