Side by side with you in spirit at Jardin de Erevan / Place du Canada, in Paris on April 19, 2009

We salute Biz Myassine’s courageous initiative to commemorate the annihilation of collective Armenian existence in Anatolia through a gesture that fosters a coming together and a mutual respect. As individuals committed to dialogue and equipped with nothing but our conscience, we will be standing side by side with you in spirit at Jardin de Erevan / Place du Canada, in Paris on April 19, 2009. We will enter from the door you open with your hearts and minds and share the pain in the hope that the path to healing will come by making a firm stand for truth, justice and finally finding a way to grieve together.
