“We are going to encourage those who are disabled and remind them that they can tackle their problems. The Paralympic Week will be supported by the interior ministry and the other ministries,” Khosravivafa said.

“Before, some Iranian families were concerned about their disabled child in the society but after our athletes won the medals in the Paralympic Games, they are proud of their kids,” he added.
