It was 1991. I worked at clinic N 12; I returned home and began to make dinner. My children were very small at that time. One of them went to school, the other to kindergarten. Suddenly I heard an “Emergency message” on TV. I left the kitchen at once and ran to the room. I did not think that after Spitak earthquake something else can happen,” colonel Serobyan recalls.

 “It was announced on TV that Artsakh needs medical worker, as many of soldiers died from simple wounds, and there were no corresponding specialists in Artsakh. “I held trainings of first medical aid at that time; I thought that I should go. How couldn’t I go? IO0 showed others how to display first medical aid. While people martyred from simple wounds there. Instead of going to the clinic in the morning, I went to the Ministry of Healthcare and said that I had heard the message. I asked to send me on business trip to Artsakh. When they began to ask me questions, I said that I even did not know the place of Artsakh on the map, but I went,” Serobyan told.
