"Today is another reminder to the public and the state that people with disabilities exist despite the stigma, they are capable of participating in social and political life, but they do not have the opportunity to do so because the state policy is ineffective, unfair and inconsistent, "said Kote Eristavi, a representative of the Human Rights Center for Training and Monitoring.
