Zatik Children's Home to close down
Yerevan-based Zatik Children's Home will close down soon. For 19 years, the centre has housed orphaned and beggar children of the Armenian capital.
Director of the children's home Ashot Mnatsakanyan says the orphanage opened when Armenia and its people were living through hard times: people passed through many ordeals and survived a devastating earthquake, war and blockade. There were numerous beggar and orphan children in the streets in those days.
Mr Mnatsakanyan says the closure of the children's home is an imperative today. the building will be transferred to an alternative structure.
