"I inform people who use wheelchairs that a new, disgraceful "rule" has recently been established at Zvartnots airport, according to which a person with a disability is FORCED to move from his wheelchair to a chair or another wheelchair in order to carry out the safety check of his own wheelchair," he wrote on his Facebook page.informedArmen Alaverdyan, who moves around in a wheelchair due to disability.
He elaborated.
"I personally tried to convince the security officers that this is an unacceptable and wrong request, because there are other forms of checking the stroller at all airports in the world (including Zvartnots) (an example is given in the photo).
However, my explanations and indignation did not yield any results, and I had to comply with this illegal demand and moved to have my wheelchair "checked", otherwise I would simply be late for the flight.
I demand to immediately eliminate the absurd, dangerous and infringing "order" of checking the wheelchair of a person with a disability, and to restart the previously existing procedure."
