We Live to Keep Others Alive…
With these words and this spirit, you give us hope.
Your words are so convincing, so encouraging, so warm, so bright, so brave, so self-confident.
It is the heroic resistance that will save the motherland and not the pitiful foreign mercy.
We firmly stand by your side, with unbreakable will, but we humble ourselves against your heroic struggle. We appreciate, love, join your struggle and bow before you.
With love,
Zaven Khanjian
