This date is a reminder that people with disabilities need special care.

Attitude towards people with disabilities is an indicator of the humanity of society. The duty of the state is the support and assistance, the creation of conditions for their full-fledged life, work, and the satisfaction of their social and cultural needs.

Caring for citizens with disabilities will continue to be one of the priorities of the social policy of our state. However, employers are obliged to treat such citizens with care when hiring them. The labor and energy of each member of society is important for the country. A society where there is a consent, responsiveness and mercy will always be successful.

Patience and active position in life of our citizens, who despite a difficult life situation, every day and every hour show unbending will and dedication, evoke respect and admiration. Keep optimism, set goals and achieve them, relying on the support and understanding of the state and society.

I wish you good health, care of relatives and friends, understanding and respect of others! ”
