Gayane Danielyan, head of the department for the protection of children’s rights at the Aragatsotn Regional Adminstration said in a conversation with Hetq that there primary problem was finding out about cases of vulnerable children.  “The department has registered only about 30 percent of such cases, but if we are to be honest, at least an equal amount of them remain unknown to this day,” said Danielyan.
