“As a foundation, we are always ready to help people who have appeared on the streets. We must assist them and solve all problems. Our foundation works according to the Danish model, that is to solve the problem of each individual prior to them leaving. We solve their passport issue, we find jobs for them, in case the person is handicapped we try to solve their issue of obtaining a disabled status”, Khachatryan told ARMENPRESS.
