Life after the war

It has been a year since the “ceasefire” but the war for survival is still going on in people’s lives. The anxiety that reigns in the hearts of the people will probably remain to erase all the good memories relating to the homeland and people they lost. The hardest job since the war is the humanitarian deminers’. It is not hard to imagine how difficult and responsible the deminer’s job is as they put aside their own safety. One of the employees of the Humanitarian Demining Centre is 27-year-old Aram who has been receiving treatment at the Rehabilitation Centre for more than a month.

Aram got married after the war and was already expecting his first child when the unexpected incident happened. For him, the 44-day Artsakh war started again on August 11 when he was wounded by a bomb blast during the demining of a cluster bomb in the village of Nor Shen, Martuni region, Artsakh. He fought for his life in the Artsakh Republican Hospital for 44 days. Today, though, he tries to fully recover and start working again.

Aram received a fracture of a pair of shins, multiple fractures of the left humerus and left arm, and a contracture of the left knee joint and left arm joint.

Significant progress is made as a result of the joint work of our specialists and Aram in the Rehabilitation Centre.
