On May 30, 2013, National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia adopted the Law N 57 “On Provision of Equal Rights and Opportunities for Women and Man”. No public discussions were held during the process of adopting the Law. The clergy and a number of cultural and public figures claim that the title of the Law has in fact nothing to do with its content which refers to gender (obtained sexual behavior) and gender equality. There are some who go as far as to claim that this is an attempt to shake the roots of traditional Christian family by legitimizing perversion.
