December 3 is the International Day of Disabled people announced by the UN General Assembly in 1992 aiming to draw public attention to the problems of the disabled people, to protect their dignity and to ensure their complete integration into society.
"I have known since my childhood what the earthquake is, when I was a child, my parents snatched me and run out of the building shouting - quake. But I could't expect that the quake in 1988 will be a disaster for me, which will result in being a disabled person on a trolley for 25 years," said Nelli Charchyan working at 911 Rescue Service of the Ministry for Territorial Administration and Emergency States. "
The disastrous quake of the 88 made 14-year-old Nelli Charchyan a disabled person, who is one of the few people in our reality, which overcame huge difficulties and integrated into public and helps people.
